Allo Der Planer,

I'm almost where I want to be, but yet so far.
I get past the box that asks for create or warp. I chose create and saw that it creates a rectilinear roof. When I ask for warp, I have am at a loss as to how to go about it from there. Whichever choices I make, I can't seem to get the desired result.

If you have more on how I should proceed, I would be very grateful as I've tried now a dozen times. :roll:

Thank you.

Maybe later more questions

Der Planer,

Is the ground shape of the dormer, (green line) drawn as a building outline in roof calc. Of is it drawn using assisting geometry?

Wow! Very, very cool

I will try to match your skills. It may take some time! 8O

Thank you for your guidance.

I can't seem to get the attachment to upload.

I will try jpg

Hello Der Planer,

I've extruded my barrel rafter shapes successfully. I've played around with the 2-04 function in roof calc module, but I need more information on how to use the function step by step correctly.

I've attached a png of the building so far.

Me Too

Thank you Der Planer.

Very cool,
thank you.
Once I have the piece extruded, Is it possible to create the roof shape using the roof module to get a 3D model??

Hello Dietrich's users,

Does anyone have some guidance for me as to how to model the attached barrel dormer? :-k

I misinterpreted what he said about the .rtf files

Thanks Jason

Hi again,

What about the fact that I can't seem to be able to open my word documents outputted from project data??

That's right. I've made made dxf's for my non Dietrich's colleagues and I find them through windows, or within the modules when importing, but they do not appear anywhere on the project admin. screen or in 3-1 of that screen. It works fine for me the way it is, but would be very helpful tool to manage the sometimes numerous dxf's I must generate.

Also, this may be another topic but, I cannot open the project data output documents from the admin. screen. Interestingly, I can open pdf files that I have placed into the project file manually. I would be helpful to be able to open these output files from the project admin.

I must say that I'm very impressed with the new version.

Cheers. :applause:

Where do I see those? I looked in one of my projects Menu 3-1 and no dxf's come up? That would be very handy for me too.

Thanks

HI JASON, GOT IT FIGURED. JUST MAKE THOSE WALLS DORMER WALLS! :oops:

Hi Jason, that's what I've done in the interim. I want to have walls wrapping the cupola framing however. Will regular walls respect the main roof?

Would it be a matter of having a storey at the proper elevation? would those walls get cut by the main roof at whatever roof slice I specify?

Hello out there,

I want to create a hip roofed cupola in my roof.
Should I use dormer design module to create the opening in my main roof?
What would be the simplest way?

Thanks for any input

Thanks Jason,

It must be something with the weather. I didn't change a setting and it worked today. :-k

Hi Jason, will that be this .zgb file It has the right number, I just don't know about the file extension

Thanks for looking into it

Thank you Planer. I don't think wall was connected. It was running along side it.
