View Full Version : Can both fascias be vertical

My roof shall consist of series of twisted surfaces as seen on attached image. At corner conditions I can't make fascias meet at 90 degrees with respect to floor. If I make 2 individual sweeps, I can't make a clean trim where they meet. If the sweep runs along continous path, then only the first path segment is vertical.
Any suggestions?

Hosted sweeps will probably not work any differently than you see now...but you might have better success with an inplace family swept along the roof edges. Worth a try.

Sweeps won't work well in this case. Try this: duplicate your blend, make it a little bigger (the width of the fascia), duplicate another blend, transform it to a void (in properties) and use it to cut the middle out of the fascia blend (like a donut). Not very intuitive, but it works! (BTW, I put your old fascia in a secondary design option - nice way to hide things)
