Re: Lean-to conservatory I see what I did wrong, the conservatory is a SH3D which is project file and not a Furniture Library. This file works fine. cheer Keet |

Re: Lean-to conservatory I see what I did wrong, the conservatory is a SH3D which is project file and not a Furniture Library. This file works fine. cheer Keet The example is just a very rough and quickly put together example. I hope it gives you a starting point to create your own conservatory exactly like you want it. Check out the posts in this forum about creating glass. It is probably a better idea to use glass objects and thin boxes for framing then resized predefined windows. You can create a window frame with boxes, put glass in it and export it as a new object. With the Shape tool you can create a triangular shape in the exact size you need and turn it into glass. After import you can easily tilt objects for the roof part. This looks a lot better than using existing windows because the frame of existing windows will deform when you resize them. Most of a conservatory doesn't need to be a 'real' window, i.e. one that cuts a hole in a wall since you only need a low wall for the bottom part. The rest is your own framing. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |

Re: Lean-to conservatory I have made a mini library under the category 'Conservatory' and I have used the principle of making the conservatory using walls. I specify the height and thickness of the conservatory wall and then snap windows, doors and glass to it from my category. I am not the best at it but my conservatory looks ok. Using the wall method rather than free flowing everything is a lot easier and you can make a real room. I have not got to the roof yet. :) |

Re: Lean-to conservatory ... and I have used the principle of making the conservatory using walls... There's more ways to Rome so if that works for you that's great.I have not got to the roof yet. :) A little trick for your roof if you are using standard windows: You can't tilt windows because they are made to snap into a wall. But you can export a window and import it again as a regular object. Don't check the "Door or window" checkbox when you import. That way you have a window you can tilt for your roof. ---------------------------------------- Dodecagon.nl 1300+ 3D models, manuals, and projects |
