Part of an obj invisible

[crackwood01]

Hi Forum,

as far as i know: everything is impossible until somebody does it.

i was wondering: is there a way to "cut" a part of an obj, or something like it ..

here i would like to cut a piece of roof ..
i know it's not possible for the moment, but, as i see in this forum .. people are full of imagination

That looks like a roof created by Dorin's awesome plugin, so it is an object. SH3D is not a modelling tool in any meaningful sense. So I'm understanding right that you want the dormer to cut a hole in the main hipped section? This is not possible in SH3D.
What you will have to do is select the objects, export them as an obj, import that into a modelling tool, and edit it there. I can confirm that Blender works for this, but any tool that can import and export .obj files should work.

If you are generating the roof using the Roof generator plugin, you can achieve this result with a trick. Just draw the roof as in the following picture:


The dormer roof is just a texturized box with the proper inclination.

Nice tip [;)]

Yes it was a roof generated with Dorin's masterpiece!

Thanks for the tip!

Suggestion: Add points in the 3d preview?, something like it would be crrraaazzzzyy

THANK YOU
