Thanks a lot pbacot, for the moment I don't know how the roof and the frame were built.

I effect the house is built with only bricks and sometimes few concrete. The builders took everything they had on hand and they didn't have enough quantity. There is absolutely nothing right ! But really no walls and roofs are straight. It's a very good exercise !

Actually i need to make good exterior construction with the walls, because i need to adapt a verenda with existing walls. For the moment i don't need to touch the roof. the roof does'nt need renovation.

I understand your process to built this type. You are right about the roof, it's better to draw all the wood, like this we can make exactly the same "operation". When i go to the house i'll take measure and picture to draw the roof at 100 % with the wood.

Thanks for your request and your help Pbacot ! If you want see the finish draw it's with pleasure !

No need for Curviloft IMO if you don't have actual curves along the edges. You have straight edges at the tops of the walls, that's OK. The softened triangular shapes are fine.

I can see how you might fix the walls and roof by raising the walls,and intersecting to the roof shapes, but it could be difficult for you to do.

You've done some good work, so it's hard to say start over. Next time save the tile, trim, and gutters for later and make the edges of the basic structure match up, basing the roof shape on the top of wall. Good to keep separate components of parts as you have done.

Hi Pbacot, thanks for your advice, but i think for a professionnal is not suffisant because is not perfect. This house is very complicate beacuse nothing is right (floor, wall, roof, nothing !) I take this exemple because this is my parents' house they are renovating so no pressure if i made mistake. but for futur customer i need to make a perfect job !

I redrew the basic roof shapes based on the outside wall edges.using joint push pull and trimmed the one gable to fit to the roof, by using intersect with model, removing the edges that stuck into the roof and adding the short line toward the bottom of the gable. This is just the basics as I don't know what sort of construction you are doing.

Your work it's much better with this gable, no hole, no empty zone, but i don't really understood your process to make this. So i made little video to show you my process :

It's like this ?

Thanks again Pbacot

Hi everybody,

I search to change my business to work with sketchup. I know sketchup (i work on it since 5 weeks, thanks the confinement).

I try to make an old house to renovate it.

Problem, the roof is not plane and not right. The gables of the house are not parallel.

So i make something but i'm not satisfy is not good. What is your tip to make this project ?

You can find my SKP in download.

I tried to make this with fredo6 jointpushpull and curviloft but is not work perfectly....

My angles are not good, my roof don't touch my wall ... I don't understand how to make this ...

Thanks in advance for your help !
