circle glazed roof

[peysey]

Hi everyone,

After hours of working I still don't know how to make a glazed roof which one has a circle in the middle and al gridlines are pointing to the middle. Just like a curtain wal, but then horizontally and 1 point in the middle where the mullions are going to...

I've made mullions by mass and rotate them al around the middle. After that I made glass from a mass and stuck that in the mullions. I don't think that's the right method, but if someone could help me, I can do it faster and better :) Because, now my glass is goint through my mass-made mullions... (see uploaded model)

I also wan't to put a second grid patern. Now I can't do that. There for I need to know how to make it on the "normal" way :)

After hours of working I still don't know

I feel bad for you when I tell you how easy this is:cry:
See the attached image for an explanation.
Read the 'restrictions' for using this method but it should do the trick for what you want here.

Hi Dimitri,

You are awesome! A couple of months ago you did help me again...

Thank you very much, I can do it now!

Hi,

After that I had the problem to make mullions from the lines of the ring.
When I try to do that, it gives an error. see attachment :(

How to solve this? I can't delete those gridlines...

Not seeing the problem.
What gridlines are you referring to? Looks like shadows to me ;)

Hi,

I mean the ring. I've highlited them in my attachment.

When I put mullions there (that red circle in my attachment) i get an error.

If you click 'Delete Mullions' when you get the message does it still create them?
Take a close look to make sure you aren't doubling up on some of the mullions.

[peysey]

Yes, he still creates them and than he cant creat, so he ask again to delete. I say yes and than he says again that that can't be, so pressing again on cancel....

I made this one by 1 by 1 unpinning and deleting, but I can't remove that line :(

I want to have glass in that middle. Like your model, but with glass in the middle.

[Dimitri Harvalias]

Sorry Sefa.
You can't create a 'cone' roof with radial mullion lines like this unless it has a hole in the middle. You might need to do an in-place family for the center glass (a revolve would probably work best).
You need to ask yourself how it would be built before you put a glass disk in the center of this. ;)

[peysey]

Hmmmmm, oke. I will try that ;)

Thank you :)

Just create a normal roof type of your glass material only, and sitck'er in there in the middle. :wink:

That is, if it's a flat glass piece you're after.
