This guide will only show you how to make a wavy roof with two walls.

 

 

Start by making a wall with the high and lenght  that you want and then make the shape you want your roof to have by using spline. (you wont be able to change the shape after this)

One thing you have to think off before you make your spline line, make a regular streight line where you want your roof the start and finish. This is so you will have straight surfaces that you can make walls of.

Offset the spline line you made and chose the thickness that you want your roof to have

Remove the part of the offset that you wont be needing. also remove the uper part of your wall that you wont be needing.

Now orbit to the other side, by using push and pull make the roof part as thick ass your wall.

Now use the cover tool to make the wall whole again

Now orbit around to the other side again and by using push pull decide the wide of the roof.

Mark the wall, copy it and then delete it. Dont forget to orbit under the roof so you can remove all the extra lines that you dont need. GROUPE YOUR ROOF AFTER.

Paste the wall you removed earlier. By using the Cover tool feel in the gaps so you wall becomes a whole object again. GROUPE IT

Now copy that wall and move it back to its original place.

move the other wall to the other side.

Hope this guide will be able to help you with your wavy roofs:D
