Roof Trouble!

[melbs19]

Having trouble designing this arched/curved roof. I have it shown
the way its supposed to look, but had to "cheat" to get there. I created a curtain wall then just joined the extruded roof to it. Don't know how to model the roof correctly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Its looking good to me.

But you are possibly referring to "Start and End Extrusion" in Roof Properties.
Just remember that from the elevation view towards the Viewer is a Positive value and away from the Viewer (into the monitor ) is a Negative value.
So if you set the work plane on the elevation face and extrusion start at 0'0" and extrusion end at +10'0", the awning roof will extend 10'0" from the building face.

melbs19 do a normal roof by extrussion setup the arch shape on a reference plane. finish sketch. then select the roof, select Cut Pan Profile
& in plan draw the negetive shape of the cut making sure the arc in plan cuts the roof extrusion boundaries.hope this helps

Thanks Shaun!

That was what i was looking for! One more question,
Is there a way to put a facia on the curved part?

Melbs, couldn't you just leave it at that. No the facia sweep doesnt work with an arc on an arc. You have to then do an extrude solid and then a void cut. the prob is that it doesnt miter with the rest of the flat facias
