Roof planes

......................... In this case making the adjustment first and then using Auto Roof Planes worked just as it should.

No argument here, potato, potato, tomato, tomato, it depends on how we work.

Exactly! I almost always use the Auto Roof Plane Tool. I've never had a problem using Manual Roof Planes but the automatic tool is faster for me 95% of the time. In addition, if it doesn't work as I expect then it gives me a very quick tutorial on what I've done wrong in the model. BTW, It's obvious that my geometry is better than yours - just check the results on the golf course

lol, Joe, you are such a jerk, one day my geometry will be better than yours, I just hope you are still alive. lol, Joe, thanks Bud................. see on the golf course soon.... lol............

Scott:

for me the definition of auto roofs is being able to change settings in any/all of the related dbx's and getting the desired roof

manual roofs is when I have to select the roof plane(s) and manually manipulate them into connecting correctly


and I agree - auto roofs do NOT work for every situation
but they CAN work for many


auto roofs would really shine if we could create a macro by recording our clicks as we make the setting changes

then if something changes we can run that script over again and get the exact same roof

Lew, There is a macro utility that you can get to do this.

I just love Jerking your Chain

Sorry guys that I wasted your time. Auto roofs work great, please continue using auto roofs, no thinking involved, simply hit the build roof button and all is well. I am so glad I was schooled on auto roofs, I never realized they were so easy. From now on I am going to use auto roofs. Thanks CA, I love auto roofs and auto slabs, easy peasy.

EDIT: SORRY GUYS, TONGUE FIRMLY IMPLANTED IN CHEAK, I am such a bad boy.

I think I'm going to have to IMPLANT something in one of your CHEEKS!

Another way of showing where it's off.....In the jpg, the auto generated roof shows the overhang at 18" in one area and 18 13/16" in another. The shaded area needs to move in the -Y direction 13/16". Make sure to align the 2nd floor walls, to the walls you moved below. Then, it auto generates correctly.

Lol, Thanks Joe, admittedly I deserve it in one of my CHEEKS.
