Sloped roof from mass

[Anonymous]

Hello guys!

I would really need a help on this one. I would like to make roof from this mass model.

What would be the best option?

1. I tried to do it first by foot print and slope, but it turns out it does not work.

2. If i do it by pick face it works but I have this sort of ending (Screenshot 2)

3. How can I add this type of structural element? (Screenschot 3)

Screenshots are broken. I would try posting them again so people can understand the issue.

The roof has its own thickness, which by default wants to be perpendicular to the surface of the roof, not following the inclination of the surfaces of the mass. Roofs have different options for the edges, which you can try, though, but in general, those are things you need to deal with when the conceptual mass starts becoming a project with material.

About the structural member, you need to make it a structural framing family. Once you create all the roofs in the project, you can set the underside face of each roof panel as the current workplane, and use that workplane to create a Beam System, in which you specify the spacing of the member, and specify the member type, which is this structural member family.
