I uploaded a model drawn with Medeek extensions here . I’ve been trying to improve at modeling complex roofs using Medeek Truss and I thought it might be fun to have a Roof Build-off to see how others would approach a Craftsman style home. If this is the wrong place to post this please let me know.…

These are just the kinds of discussions I was hoping for! Taking notes.

[image] ivanjones: It would be nice if wood grain were correct to each member but thats getting a little to picky I think. Ive noticed it and I have to go in and manually correct everyone before I render on every project…

I might be able to fix the orientation of textures for the trim and casing, however the only way to fix the orientation for door panels, stiles etc… is to model these type of doors with separate groups which would significantly increase the polycount of a door. I will have to give this some more th…

Can you post an example or screenshot of a panel door applied with one of your textures where it is not displayed correctly. Just so I have an example to further study.

Actually, the Wall plugin does almost everything I need it to do. I have a wish-list that I will post separately.

I struggle a bit making roofs do what I want. Thank goodness for Subtract, Custom, and trim options. I have trouble making the soffit and fascia look correct on steeper pitches.
