Rooftop and walls - two questions


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi guys! I'm a first year student in Architecture and I need help! Here's my two questions:

 

1) I need to fill in the wall that reaches the roof. At the moment, I can only make walls at a 90 degrees angle (boxes), not a unit in an ascending/descending angle.

 

2) Around the windows below on the right, I joined all boxes but the (white) lines between them remain. How can I get rid of those?

Thank you so much!

Is the building steel framed, wood framed or masonry?  Technically speaking a building would not be constructed in this manner.  For example, there is nothing on the top of the walls, such as trusses, supporting the roof above.  That aside, one option would be to extend all the walls through the roof then SLICE them using a polyline drawn at one end of the gable roof and extruded through the other end. Another option would be to draw and extrude a matching profile unique to each section of wall under the roof.  Re: visible edges.  Choose a visual style like REALISTIC or SHADED to hide the edges.

Another method for roofs is using PFACE command it supports 3d points but they must be in a single plane so for your image would do pface twice.

 

This image was produced just using plain autocad command. Note the use of thickness in the wall line work. Similar to your image windows are drawn vertically for frames. When you use thickness it also asks for elevation so can draw each floor seperate then just move over the top of each other.

Use "hide" in a viewport

For elevations look at using a viewport and set the direction via Vport eg 3d is -1,-1,1. Right is "1,0,0"

Have you looked into using AutoCAD Architecture?

Are you aware as a student, "I'm a first year student in Architecture" you can get Autocad free while a student, it appears to include Autocad Architecture & Revit.
