jon_guiffre Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I am trying to create an arched front porch gable end. I was able to clip one side of the arch but I do not remember how I was able to do this. I started with a rectangle solid and removed the arch by creating a cylinder and removing the union of the two shapes. Next I created a box, and edited to a triangle, I can't remember or recreate this, and overlaid it on the arched rectangle and removed the union. I cannot figure out how to get the box/rectangle to edit to a triangle. Is there an easier way of creating this front porch feature? Does CA have a library catalog that has this feature or is there somewhere that I can download one? Thanks, Steve B.plan.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Shoot an elevation, create a CAD Detail from View, and draw the shape using the CAD tools. Then copy/paste-hold to the elevation, convert the polyline to a Polyline Solid, and use a plan view to position it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco2017 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I do what Robert does. I made a quick video for you. No sound, but maybe you can follow it. You can view it here. http://www.screencast.com/t/t1T6bJ6Sv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_guiffre Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Thanks Robert for the quick description to the problem and thank you Ross for the video, it was great, I got it, though I couldn't see the bottom tool bar to see what exactly what tools you were using, I had to play it several times but got it. Thanks Robert & Ross for the help. Steve Joslyn Allied Building Contractors, LLC CA 7X Mac OS Yosemite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It's easier and less work if in the elevation you use a solid to start with in stead of converting a rectangular cad polyline. Doing it this way will place it in the plan view on the correct floor level as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
