mealexmail Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Good evening, guys) Have just got the issue. Please, help (hope somebody has already had same thing) What is most effective way to make roof becoming walls? like here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Are you saying the wall there is a roof?....its a wall with treatment to look like the roof extends over the edge (ie battens), but its not a roof in "design" or real life. The fascia board is being used as an edge detail for the roof down the side of that wall is making an illusion/representation of sorts. Its hard to tell from the pic, but the other side may be the face/edge of a gamble roof if that is what you are talking about? Again, its hard to tell from the pic, if there is an angle to that other wall - but it doesn't look like there is an angle to the foreground wall. Anyway, they have cleverly designed the elements of the home to appear as if the roof wraps the house, but its more a detailed illusion than actual roof that wraps around the home.

johnny Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Here is a quick concept I did in CA to demonstrate where I think you want to go with the model - maybe I am wrong. I just show a line drawing render since I didn't want to mess with textures etc. The slight error in the picture house is the fact I think they were trying to have the "wrap" come around and then at the porch the wall "notch" be as if that portion of roof was twisted/flipped up to form that roof section - but the size of that cutout doesn't match the area of roof they show (its much larger). I think that could be fixed.... but I may be too picky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 looks to me like a wall with a roof material on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Here is what I came up with. Pretty straight forward. Standard Gable roof. Used board & batten for wall material. The roof doesn't really become the walls. It just has a material that looks like roofing. Didn't take the time to get all the side wall window configurations but hopefully you get the idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Come on guys , all that time and effort to do examples , and you don't post the plan ...... Like the Others I think it is a Clever illusion , using Hardi Panel or similar by the looks (horizontal flashings). M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think similar: they just applied same meterial and made fascial equal to wall thickness. So we get the illusion. Actually I tried to solve the model by myself and what I stuck with now is how to make framing for the "porch" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, thank you, it's pretty similar to the reference. I got the idea well. I have already asked Johny above how he got the porch. May you please give your advice too?

Rich_Winsor Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Here you go. Plan is attached. As far as my plans go it's pretty clean. I used a couple of polyline solids to cap off the walls and form the porch ceiling so I could get the wall material to wrap around underneath. Roof becomes Walls.plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! great help, thank you, magic green=) about solids - he-he-he - of course I figured that it can be done with solids) but what shall you do with framing then? that's why I stuck with this. I understand that the issue doesn't seem to be critial - just trying to experiense CA deeper btw you got pretty accurate porch *thumb* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Rich_Winsor Posted August 1, 2015 Solution Share Posted August 1, 2015 That's the way it goes Alex (r u alex?). I usually start out by seeing if I can reproduce the look of a picture. During that process I often take liberties I probably wouldn't do if I was modeling it for myself just to get the look I'm after. Of course then when more feedback is wanted I have to scramble to make the plan presentable. I didn't go as far a checking out how the model will frame because at this point I would just be guessing as to the composition of the walls. They look pretty thick in the photo. You might have to fake some porch ceiling framing but the rest should be straight forward. BTW, I don't know who you pi$$ed off to get that scarlet numeral -1, but I gave you a +1 to get you back to even. Everybody deserves a fresh start now and then. Edit: 10:40PM Just tried letting Chief do the framing. Auto build a foundation derived from the 1st floor and the have Chief auto frame everything else. Looks pretty good to me. That ceiling p-solid is only 1/8" thick so it didn't really affect the framing. Just delete the 3 p-solids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mealexmail Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hey, thanks a lot! The framing looks cool. I would add some extra layer or just add some thickness to the existing. In other aspects - yes, what you've done looks similar to what's required. Thank you, Rich (?) As for the rating I do not know either .. just realized one day that it's -1 .. do not know why. hope next night I will finish the plan and will compare to yours )) Thank you!
