baynesjosh Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I am having a hard time building a pergola. I am assuming the easiest method is using polyline solids to represent posts and rafters. But I am not sure is there are easier ways to create the end cut details. I have been doing it all with lines to generate the ends that I want but then I can't duplicate it on the other side. There must be an easier way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Look in the Library under Millwork for rafter ends. Also, be aware that you can can use Framing Members (Posts, Beams, Joists, Rafters, General Framing Members. Or, you could also build a room and frame it then make the walls invisible, etc. There are a lot of ways to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Not too bad of a pergola/backyard makeover just to show for reference on my sunroom addition per the client's request. Damn I love my 3080 card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
