Thread: Question: Rounded Roofs & Walls?

Thanks, Kevin. #1 worked.
#2: When the roof comes down, all walls of the house, now above the roof, are cut away! That's not intended. So I believe, I need to be able to "cut" a big rectangular hole into the roof before sinking it down. How to do that?
Thanks for reading, good intentions, your time, good attitude and a good answer.

Draw a rectangular polyline (or whatever shape you need)
Select the polyline and then select the "Convert Polyline" tool on the Edit toolbar
Choose "Hole in roof/ceiling" optionKevin Moquin, AIA, LEED AP BD+C

1.
I have created a circular polyline, and tried to cut it out from the roof. However, when right-clicking the circular polyline and selecting "Convert polyline to ...", the "Hole in Roof" option is disabled. Why? The circular polyline is at the same floor like the roof.
2.
I also want to create a partially circular cut-out for a rounded stairs along the inside of a tower. That means, the cut-out needs on its outer edge to follow the line of the tower's inside walls, and the inner edge of the cut-out is following the outline of a smaller circle. Finally, since it is not supposed to be a ring-shaped cut-out, I have to limit this cut-out to end at a certain angle of that circle, let's say, it starts at 0° and ends at 90° (just to give an example). How to accomplish that?
Thanks for your assistance.Last edited by Hirnsausen; 01-11-2011 at 09:19 PM.

I think Sven is looking for something like the image below.
I created the tower and used the curved stair tool to make the stair. I used the "Auto Stairwell" tool to make the opening in the second floor. I dragged the inner railing by the round handle to reduce it's radius and pull it away from the inside edge of the stair.
