Very basic help

Here it is : ) It' connected to a line.

Would it be something like this?

Dave R

Or like this?

If it's what I did, I copied the curves up to the top of the higher "wall" and then connected the vertices with the curve at the bottom (I exploded your curve group, too.) I used the Line tool from Tools on surface to create the sloped line between the tops of the end walls but it could be done by drawing in a plane and intersecting it with the curved surface. In either case, then just delete the face above the sloped line. I repeated that for the outside curve and then manually connected vertices to skin over the roof. As Csaba said, it could all be done with plugins, too.

Yes, that can also be...

oslocadiz

Yes like you did Dave. Will try to do it on the other ones.

Thank you for your help.

Dave R

Any time.

I had a little problem understanding the second part of your explanation: how do you make the slope line a long the surface. I tried to make a line but because of the gap to the surface I can't trim it.

I used the Line tool from Tools on surface to create the sloped line between the tops of the end walls but it could be done by drawing in a plane and intersecting it with the curved surface.

Step by step will I learn this gem of a program!!

OK I got it!! : )

Sorry...It's the end of my workday and my brain is not being very imaginative.

Thanks again

The plane as you show does it nicely. The other thing I referred to is a plugin called Tools on Surface which lets you just draw the line between corners.

Maybe it's time for you to take a rest.

While looking at your images, it reminded me of something I am doing at home. I needed to project some geometry normal to the curved surfaces to sort of reflect a spherical effect. I used Chris Fullmer's 3 lines tool. You can use the normal selection, specify/correct the desired length by interacting with the VCB, and a line will be drawn normal to a face or a vertex. You can then draw from point to point on the endpoints of the normals.

Great advice... There nobody left in my office so it's really about time to head back home-> where SU is all about fun

I will first learn it the hard way and come back for plugin advice...but it's written down in my list for wanted plugin.

Have a nice day/evening
