need help with my roof
Hi together,
I know, there are a lot of other question regarding roof creation. But I have a very difficult roof to build.
I have a 8 corner house and it has a 36 degrees roof. The roof is a "saddle roof". Every side is on the top 14 meters long and on the gutter end 5,50 meters long. The saddle is on one side 7.50 meters high and the other side is 60 meters high.
I have created the rooms and I can show you, but I don't know how to upload my obj here. I hope the obj is download able from this link here. Roof.obj

Would be great if someone can show me how the create this kind of roof.

Many thanks
Harvey

Re: need help with my roof
Hi,

.obj file works well. Cool house, but I am glad I'm not your builder... :-)

Either you can use 3d modelling software, or you can look at hansmex' roof-guide: http://www.sweethome3d.com/slopingCeilingGuide.pdf

In short, it is probably doable by using separate SH3D drawings of slanted walls in the correct angle which you later export to .obj files and re-import and rotate. But it is not all that straightforward.

For this kind of roof, I would prefer 3d modelling software that can work with accurate dimensions. But learning how to use such software will require a bit of patience....

ok
