Roof with multiple slopes

[shershahbacha9]

Hey,

I wanna create a roof/floor which has multiple slopes. I tried with adding points and then giving heights to respective points but automatic connection of near by points makes its shape bad. I am attaching this drawing for roof. There is opening in between and a lot of slopes as seen. For time being, ignore these clouds on corners.

You mean you a shape editing a flat floor/roof and adding points (e.g. Modify Sub Elements)?  If so, how did you determine the Elevations of the Points? Are you using Elevations identified in and pulled from an Elevation View.  What's the zero origin  for the Points?   This is where I screw up typically. Entering Elevations that are relative to the wrong zero Origin.  

...almost looks like your Top View Range isn't high enough. FWIW.

Try the Add Split Line to add all the lines for ridges and valleys, then edit the points heights.

I tried a part of the roof and it looks okay.

If feel complicated when you adding the slop. Simply add points it's easy to control.

For flat roof, the points by default are shown 0 elevation and we can the chnage the value to + or - depending on shape of roof.

well it looks very good and thats what i want but normally the points sometimes automatically connects with other points of split lines and it doesnt look clean. In your case it looks perfect

[shershahbacha9]

i tried that but the points automatically connects with other points, with which it should not be connected and create a mess.

yes, @shershahbacha9. I'm very familiar and practiced with shape-editing. That wasn't my question.  I understood your screenshot is a shaped-edited roof that has some problem areas. Those are the areas circled in red clouds;

right?   

What's your View Range? Are you well above the roof?   Almost looks like you are cutting through a portion of it.  

[shershahbacha9]

Yes those red areas have some problems but for now i am not concerned about that. Also i am using floor and not roof. I have created flat floor and now i want to give them these slopes as in screenshot of CAD file. View range is 2.5 m above the level and 0 below.

Alrighty then. I thought those were the areas in question.  Guess not. 

This is a rudimentary example of what I was talking about.

SE1= Shape Edited Roof viewed at 50'-0" Cut Plane

SE2=Same Shaped-Edited Roof at 8'-0" Cut Plane

I'll give you a little TIP: Determine all your exact ridge heights by drawing Ref. Plane and Spot Elevations  in Elevation -- and then in Plan View, Modify Sub-Elements and Place Split Line for all your Ridges and enter the Ridge Lines' Elevations reported by the Spot Elevations .
