Re: Contributing/Patch for walls with sloping base When I need a dormer I always create a custom full dormer object that is inserted in a gap in the roof. Easy to copy for multiple dormers and I can use it in multiple houses. A wall, by definition, is usually a load baring part of the house. If the sides of a real dormer have a triangle gap at the bottom they are usually made of wood or another material that is not too heavy. A stone/concrete wall is too heavy for this type of construction. There is nothing to support the 'floating' high end. That we want to use a wall for the sides of a dormer is because it's convenient to draw. A wall in Sweet Home 3D has specific properties like the ability to create a hole for a window. If your patch can let the wall keep all it's original properties this might be useful for some users but it would be better if you can reproduce this in a plugin that adds a special type of wall. Did you take into account that a wall sinks into a floor at a level? You can't see that but it is to have full walls on the outside of a house. Otherwise there would be a gap where the floor is. A 250cm wall on a floor of 20cm is actually 270cm. From the top of the floor to the ceiling is still 250cm so you don't notice the added height at the bottom. You can see this when you export such a wall, the resulting object will be 270cm high, not 250cm. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
