  • Thanks

    Its so inafct really simple, but SO hard to figure uot for a noob

  • Actually there is an easyer way to do this. Simply by selecting the corner of the roof and draging it parallel to the axis/roof and typing in the distance. This way you lose the need for the guide, the two lines and you don't have to erase anything. Or for a 10 sec job you can simply make a box at the height of the roof, draw a line from a lower corner to the middle of the upper edge and then complete the roof with the follow me tool. I just wounder how aidanchopra didn't think about this.

  • i think i know what a hip roof is if i'm searching how to make one.

  • i don't get it. why not just pull the point to the guide point?

  • yah dude thankyou

  • Once you know...it's so simple!

    THANK YOU mate, brilliant videos, all of them

  • Hm... Well my friend just went to TILE-MOLDS . com and he got the best service! So maybe you should try their services too?

    Good luck!

  • As a matter of fact I was actually going to make a video, once I have some free time, to show the neat tehniques I know to model a house as a response to the clumsy modeling you can see here on youtobe:) Check my channel to see some of my vids now!

  • @latvietis1234 : You should show us with a video and we'll all learn how to simplify the steps getting the same results in less time!.Thanks.(I wonder if aidanchopra is thinking the same!).

  • anybody kno how 2 make a cape or cape cod?

  • thank you sooo much! I had no idea how to do my homework on roofs (our proff did not give us anything! Just a drafting problem!), until I saw this and started making the roof on sketchup, and now I'm done! :D
