    Hello,

    i would like to draw garge from wood piers something like this on the picture



    So if i choose wall, than make it from wood in galery i cannot draw it small like 160mm. I need piers 160x160mm
    Also i need horizontal piers for roof and for conection between lef and right vertical piers.

    I make stuff like that all the time. I use slabs for the majority of it and polyline solids from an elevation for the angled parts. It's fairly easy.

    I would simply make a Deck. The Deck Surface is the Roof and just suppress the Railings. The Floor Level above Grade establishes the clear height.

    For the diagonal braces I would use PSolids.

    I would make the walls from railing walls post to beam (no railing) . You can adjust the railing height to what you need and just use a roof plane above.
