Re: HELP for designing my mansard
Sounds as if you can get away with drawing your crossbeam in SH3D, e.g:
- draw a wall 45 deg angle
- set wall height = beam width
- set wall thickness = beam height
- set wall length = beam length
- select and export selection to .obj format
- import .obj file (import furniture, or drag/drop)
- rotate beam in import menu (green arrows)

ok
