      Hi all,

      I'm trying to form two curved portions of roof in the attached drawing - I can't seem to figure it out and have had a look in the tutorials. I'm sure that its really simple to do, any help would be greatly appreciated,

      Thanks,

      Stew

          Stewy, there are a couple ways of achieving this.

          One is to "hand stitch" the arc. See pic.

          The other is to use the scale tool on your bottom arc. See pics.

          Hope this helps.

            Boo, you are too fast. I just finished my stitching image... no use posting it

            A third way is to select the arcs and to use the Sandbox from Contours tool. The result is passable, but not quite as neat as with stitching. For some reason the other of the two roofs develops extraneous faces that have to be erased.

              And yet a fourth way is to use the skin ruby script. You can get the latest here:

              But like the sandbox tools I prefer the stitching or stretching the bottom arc.
