Auto Project Wall

[Techdon1]

I'm currently working on ABS 2006. I'm having trouble auto projecting to the roof or a P-line.
On one end of my building only half of the wall projected up to the roof as shown in the file attached. The other wall won't project at all. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give me.

I'm not sure what you mean by auto projecting the roof but the way that I've been able to create roof lines is as follows.

1. Click on the wall you want to modify and go to its properties.
2. In properties go to Advanced - Roof/Floor Line
3. For a simple gable select 'Add Gable' and then click on the center vertices and edit it to the height you would like.

For more complicated roof lines you can add more vertices and modify them to your hearts desire.

I hope this is the information you requested.

In ADT (and I have no idea how similar these programs are) if you select the wall, you can choose to "edit roof line" and then choose "auto-project" and select the object you wish to project the top of wall to. The problem can occur sometimes if you don't make your wall tall enough. Since you are basically cutting the top of the wall at the gable, you should be able to make it as tall as you'd like.

This worked great. I tried the auto project and that caused only half of my wall to match up to the gable. Thank you Scott.

Now that's the kind of positive additude I like to hear.:roll:

I'm still trying to find some time to play with your model. The first time I tried it, it wasn't very happy.

I was trying to reply to Scott's comment but I posted a quick reply. This wasn't the result I was looking for. In some other forums I seen users quote what comments they were replying to above their message. I'll have to try another time. Thank you both for your help.
