how to add elevation to a wall and make a beam on the roof

Post by procustex »

Hi, my wall is made as this:
wiev by side

roof
__________
................|beam
................|_____
........................|
........................|wall
........................|
this format seems that doesn't allow to insert spaces so don't take into account the dots and consider them as spaces
I didn't succeed to insert an image

how can I get this?

I don't see a problem with this. You can create the beam using a box and elevate it so it's flush with the top of the wall.

I assume that the beam is on the outside of the wall and that you want the roof to extend over the beam. It depends on what kind of roof you want but the easiest way is to use the Generate roof plugin to create a roof.

If you don't have that plugin installed, you should install the Plugin Manager (direct download) and use that to install and keep up-to-date other plugins. Read more about it here .
