Shed Dormer on Cape????

I give up on it..Fix one thing and another messes up..:mad:
Some of the things are looking better..

I agree the all brick does look much better - I was just trying to model the existing condition. The funny thing is that the best that I can tell is that it is all original to the house.

I really have to thank all of you for help me out with this. Could have saved a lot of time - should have posted my question yesterday.

As a solution for the bedroom wall –can you just cover the siding with a 3d ploy. and assign sheetrock material to it? This would be more of a patch, if it would work?

The interior wall can be adjusted by taking a cross sectional view. Use the mouse to grab the wall and get the siding up and over the roof plane.

But I have a question for Louis....

How does one get the sheetrock to show below and siding above...if not done by my concocted method?

The answer is yes...if you draw a polyline over the unwanted siding in a cross sectional view...(and give it solid white fill.)

By the way...this very method is the first step to creating a 3D solid (polyline solid).

Your dilemna was a tricky one....and you've probably learned from the experience as well as myself. That's why I like to jump in on the trouble shooting now and again.

Thanks Allen.

[Allen Brown]

You're welcome

The pony wall proved to work best in this case given that it has dual properties of both siding and sheetrock.

It was "edit-able" in 3d cross section view. The wall has siding over the roof plane and sheetrock below.

Learn sumpthin' new every day. PS that manual has made one heck of a paper weight.

Nice - just tried it ... so easy. I guess there is no need for me to read the manual then. I will see if I can come up a more difficult problem over the weekend.

Thanks again.
