      Hi everyone, firstly happy New Year to one and all,

      I have a curved roof dormer window intersecting with a pitched roof slope (a single, angled plane) and have used the push/pull tool to drag the cruved roof through the plane of the pitched roof and it looks fine except that I'd like a nice crisp line to define the intersection of the two. I tried using the arc tool but this wouldn't work because the intersection isn't actually an arc.

      Is there a tool that I can use to define the intersection and erase the bit of the curved roof on the inside of the pitched roof that I don't need?

      Thanks,

      Stew

        Hi Stew,

        Select both faces (they need to be in the same editing context - i.e. not in separate groups for instance) then right click and from the popping up context menu select "Intersect" > "...selected".

        Now this will make that nice intersection line you want to create but you will need to remove unwanted geometry manually.
