Thread: Roof help?

Thanks -- you guys are the best! I'm glad this was an interesting challenge -- definitely wasn't something I'd ever run across before.
I want to watch the videos and take the time to understand what you guys did to create this doorway. But I'm pressed for time on this project, so for now I just grabbed David's beautiful symbol and ran with it. See the beautiful result in the attached image.
Now I have to figure out how to put a roof on this baby. Roofs are not exactly my strong suit either (did I mention I do RENDERINGS???), but you learn by doing -- and I'm learning a lot! But I may be yelling for some more help soon.Kathleen Moore

Kathleen,
How do you like this? I think it's closer to what you were looking for.Joseph P. Carrick, Architect - AIA

The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

It's not a part of the symbol. The casing is CA-30 (Window Casing) sized to 16" wide x 4" deep. I wish we could use multiple moldings for casings which would make it possible to do custom built-up profiles with different materials.
I did use a couple of extra moldings as a part of the symbol - the 2 "stucco" surfaces just outside of the wood arch.Last edited by Joe Carrick; 07-26-2012 at 05:46 AM.

That's beautiful too, Jim! Can you send it to me as an X4 symbol?

If I am understanding you correctly, I believe that can be done now. The attached pic is something that I have been working on with the Solid Primative Face tool.
The profile was placed from the Library and converted to a Face object and then Revolved. Materials can be applied to this just like any other object.
You have to use your imagination with the pic I provided, since this is a sinlge profile, but the idea is the same. You would just do it as many times as needed, or combine 2D profiles.
This provides the ability to do a lot more in the way of custom contours when creating 3D Solids. Still no way that I know of to do a Rail or other types of Sweeps though. That would open a whole new capability to Chief that I for one would love to see.
Anyway, this may be another way to get what you are after.
I have not tried to apply a custom profile like this to a door symbol yet. Mostly been working on the technicals of getting it done. Be interesting to see how this works.
But, I have found the Revolve and Extrude edit tools can actually do quite a few things that are still very interesting once you have a 3D Face.
Edit: I mostly see the Extrude edit tool being of use here for providing a clean fast way to add contours to the Rays. If there were contours provided, I did't see them. I have been kicking around the idea of actually creating a door using traditional style and rail shaper contours. That would be more detail than generally required, but still kind of neat that Chief can do that.Last edited by rcole; 07-26-2012 at 08:05 AM.

Thanks for all your help with this, everyone. I got my project finished on time and the client was very pleased. I'm proud to say I was able to do the roof myself without further assistance -- with all manual roof planes.
Chieftalk is such a fantastic resource. Please let me know if I can help you out in return.Kathleen Moore
