3D Roof

Can someone give me a few ideas on how to create a sophisticated 3d roof in
AutoCAD. I have different pitches, levees and dome roof.

 

3d polyline to make a sloped plane.
3dpolyline, pt1 (LL), pt2 (LR), pt3 (UR) pt4 (UL) c (close)
Menu "Draw" / Region, <pick objects>, Select 3dPolyline.

This makes a sloped plane that can be hatched with shingles or whatever.

Same for other slopes.

Solid modeling may be your solution.

I model every design I do using ADT 2006, and I use solids for all my roof
design.

I could e-mail you a some examples of roof systems.

solids work well in ADT, the program can interpret the solid object as if it
were a parametric object.

All of ADT commands I use to create sections, floor plans, and elevations
interpret both parametric, and solids.

I have found solid modeling to be a very useful tool.

 

I am from India, I have done approx 40-45 models in acad for print
them into a 3d printer. they consists of different pitches, levees and
dome roof, heap roof etc. I can tell you that. You have to take some
sections from the roof such as one is from front and other is from
left extrude them as per your roof structure. after that slice and
delete all the unnecessary part from the extrude protion. go to
commend "shell" and hollow the roof removing the lower part. you will
get the roof. One impotant thing is that can you draw the roof only
with the lines in 3d? If you can do that you get the actual path of
creating roof. If you have ay moe problem let me kow at
