Gawdzira Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 There is a wall type for curved walls. Is this something you have to do or want to do? If you are a newbie and this is your first project, you might want to start with a rectangular house? If you are doing the round house I have found that drawing the curved wall is easier if you first draw a curved line and the wall will try to follow the curve.

DRAWZILLA Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Draw a cad circle the size you want and place curved walls along that line. You cannot draw 1 wall in a complete circle, you must use 2 walls to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Newbie here, How do I draw a round house? Thanks How many locomotives will you be storing? Oh, not that kind of roundhouse. Here's my round house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilgoreTrout Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Perry's tip is the key. You can't draw a round house with one wall. You need to use at least two. Also, the "polygon shaped room" tool will let you build a "roundish" house by using as many straight wall segments as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich_Winsor Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Perry's tip is the key. You can't draw a round house with one wall. You need to use at least two. Why exactly is that? Why can't you draw a round room with the "Curved Wall" tool without resorting to what amounts to a work around? Is this where we are supposed to chime in and ask for a "Round Wall" tool with a dbx where you could control things like diameter and axes of reflection?

Coin_Slot Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 i believe the curved wall tool will only allow 180 degrees, but a quick copy and mirror and you will be converting a Silo into a home in no time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 something like the Polygon shaped room dbx ? I'm trying X5 with 1000 sides at 1/16" but the clock is spinning .... that didn't work, lots of excess lines all over the place trying 1000 sides with radius to side of 5' - nothing happening ?

lbuttery Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hmmm, It looks like a round room not sure what all the excess lines are about ? the living area calc is 0 Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 ok, I tried 100 sides with radius to side of 5' Chief is having issues with the final connection area I suspect that if CA worked on this tool somewhat they might be able to get a circle I'm trying 360 sides now ....

lbuttery Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 nope, 360 sides doesn't work either and the walls are more messed up at the final area Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 it is possible to consider a circle a polygon with "infinite sides" CA just needs to fix the Polygon Shaped Room tool to allow for this http://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/55097.html Can they do it ???
