Hi. I’m trying to figure out how to model this roof for these plans. I draw up cabinets / create models / g-code cut files of prototypes for CNC routers & I am NOT an architect.
These are just for a friend so she can take these to an architect for actual build plans but I would like to know how to accurately represent the roof on a 3D model for this house. The ceilings are 9’ throughout and the living room and kitchen area will be vaulted. No prefered height was given for the vault.
Unless someone has better knowledge or ideas for it, which I am very open to! Thank you in advance!
It will only let me upload one item so I will send the SKP file if needed or post it as well. This is my 1st set of plans and I have been learning as I go these and know my layers are not set up great and I probably went about evening the most difficult way so. Just before you judge
I would try the Medeek Truss plugin Medeek Design Inc. - Medeek Truss , you can test drive a trial version. He has a lot of great tutorials to get started. Your roof will be accurate no need for knowledge of how buildings are constructed. You will mostly choose from the settings (there are a lot of options) and can experiment with different roof pitches a vaulted or flat ceiling, overhangs and simply regen the roof to see the changes. Once you choose the settings the roof is drawn with three mouse clicks. Thats everything including rain gutters!
Thank you! I might add, I am having no issue modeling the initial walls / roof, but more as of now the porches tie into it. Any advice? I will attach a photo of the status I’m at shortly.
I see no recemblance in your floorplan and the door and window openings in the building image. They don’t seem to match at all.
As for the carport roof, that is just a lengthened house roof.
As for the porch, you can start with rotating an edge or use a guide to determine a known pitch. Guides can be created with the ‘Protractor’ tool combined with entering the pitch itself like (examples!) 1:10 or 1:12 or whatever is needed. To start with.
