Roof with flare at eaves - How would YOU do it?

And since it was one more post the 100 club, I cpouldn't resist.

So, as often happens, you find the simplest way to skin the cat after you find the hardest.

Try this:
Roof by extrusion>Selct the roof>Click Cut Work Plan> Cut to 45 deg> Mirror using the 45 as the mirror line. Simple and sweet.

Thanks for all of your effort on this one.

That cut work plan thing will come in handy, I'm sure. Though sweeping the flare along the path was simple and eliminates a step for each corner.

...time for a cold one indeed. I'm stuck at that in between where I can't reap the benefits of building this thing yet. All I have to go on is the modelling part of the software, and I can compare that to learning several other 3d packages. Once I get to the harvesting information and scheduling advantage, revit will be alone in it's class I'm sure.

Thanks again everyone.

Please have a look in this thread that I replied to. My roof is inside out, I think. The texture is mapped correctly on the inside of the roof and my fascia goes on backwards. Though I can flip it, I think it's a symptom of a greater problem.

Ok, maybe it's just the lighting and the bump mapping.

It's still going to be a problem. The colour seems wrong on the outside and the bump mapping is either at just the right angle with the light that nothing shows, or something is wrong on that side. Even if the bump mapping isn't showing, shouldn't the diffuse map show the lines in the shingles?

I'll go look at the diffuse image to see if it has lines. It's a default.

You mean something like this? I am from South Africa, here we know it as Bali roof. It's quite simple, just create one roof above the other and give each a different slope from each other. Sorry I answered late, just joined. Hope this answer's your question?
