Question: Rounded Roofs & Walls?

[Hirnsausen]

Oh, I see. thanks, Özgur. I tried to find them.

What I need, is a guide about the HOW-TO. I will check my other threads there. Thanks again. In case you might celebrate the Christmas, I wish you a great and very enjoyable Christmas time.

[Hirnsausen]

Tried to reach OFF-TOPIC, but can't. Hopefully I will be accepted fully soon.

Thanks. I wish you a merry Christmas,too. By the way, if you can enter into the chatroom now, you may want to clean this thread since a thread with the same title is already active. I think deleting your first post is enough. See you soon.

I think they can do it manually ???

It's a procedure to slow down the spammers

Yes, always these spammers - they are a real problem for all mentally normal persons. I really dislike spammers. There should be much more hunting for spammers, and those procedures should be started much easier than now...

Once I have access to that off-topic section, I would delete my postings there as they don't fit there. But the answers from Ozgur and others (probably) would be lost.

I hope, they can post in this thread here again how to make those rounded walls and roofs, that would be great.

Hi friends of the green box,



Sven:


Interesting salutation

[Hirnsausen]

Thanks, Lew, thanks. :-)

In regards to my three questions, do you know any step-by-step way to get what I want? I really could need help... :-)

Most anything can be done one way or another in Chief, including curved walls & roofs. Whether Chief is the best place to do it,...........that'll be your call.
Here's the 1st 3 steps.
Step 1: Access the SSA training videos on Chief Architect website.
Step 2: Go to DMDz website & view the roof videos there. They're free.
Step 3: Come back here w/ specific questions; there's a lot of folks here just waiting to answer specific questions about how they do curved roofs & walls.

Sven:

Jim is correct, Chief can't do these wall types directly
you will have to attempt various methods and "workarounds" to accomplish them

those wall types are beyond my skill level

Sven,

The curved roofs are easy to do in Chief.
Have you read the manual - always a good starting point.

Have a look here:

Glenn, i liked that project very much. And the 3d illustrations look like a real scale model rather than computer generated images. Brilliant.

Okay, here I am now, finally being able to use this forum section, and seeing all my postings. Fine, so far.

But my question remains: HOW to achieve rounded roofs? Can anyone give me a guidance? Thanks.

Yes, I get it now! Great! Thanks a lot to everyone in this thread! My appreciation.

Now another problem: at the moment, the roof is on top of the building, but I want it to be sunken down so it becomes something like a decoration of the wall. It still exceeds the house walls, but is no longer on top. This results in two new questions:

1. How to lower the roof?
2. How to cut out the area of the house inside the over-hanging roof?

[moak]

1. Select the roof object - press CTRL-T for the Transform/Replicate tool - enter the distance you'd like to move the roof in the "Z-delta" box (negative number to move down) - click OK

2. I believe Chief does this automatically but I'm not entirely clear about what you are asking.
