SLightly sloped roof with different edges

[hve-architecten]

Hello,

Justed wanted to share something:

I was working on a roof with some slight slopes for the water drainage to 1 or 2 sides.

Normally you use the "modify sub elements" in oder to create height differences. But then every corner gets a line drawn from point to point. Very annoying.

There is a workaround:

-Draw a flat roof.

-Create a slope on the top with modify sub elements. Say one side is +50mm, the other is -50mm.

-Create in floorplan view a component-in-place void-extrusion and cuth the void of the roof before closing the component family.

Sketch the Floor perfectly square, slope it as required and then use an In-Place Void to cut the Floor to it's shape.

You can do it with just a single roof.  Same as @barthbradley suggested, except I would use Vertical Opening Cut tool instead of an in-place void.

Why so?

Why so what?  Why model it as one roof instead of 2 or why use Vertical Cut Opening instead of void?

[kchristol]

vertical cut opening instead of void.

No in place model.  No cut geometry.  So, fewer steps with the same result.

Good points! Thanks for the tip!
