looking for a better way to do a roof capping.
we currently just "split surface".

split face for "me" is still one of the better ways as when you flex the roof capping moves with it . Splitting faces is a pain "but you can use mirror" see my recent post which speeds things up a bit.
Otherwise there is the 2 roof system looks great in 3d and rendered but just as much a pain to do and takes a lot of constraining to get the 2 roof to flex together, check example Roof file, select cap to understand.Attached FilesLast edited by mark b; February 11, 2011, 06:27 AM.Mark Balsom

I was thinking more in the line of a sweep, I have tried this but it doesn't join well.....ideas?life's good :wine:

I have tried just about every option ever devised but they all fall down on the joins. Has been a huge wish list item for me for ages. Our foreign counterparts probably don't quite understand the % use of corrugated iron roofs in OZ.
I will watch this thread in anticipation just in case there has been some innovative brake-throughLast edited by mark b; February 11, 2011, 12:50 AM.Mark Balsom

Would it work to offset the same roof a few inches , change the thickness of it and to leave the caps use a in place void that cuts out the rest of the roof?

Hi Juan, that is the same principal as I was talking about in post #2 the "2 roof system" except with mine you just draw the roof (capping) lines. Both systems acheive the same result, but both are time consuming , and in mine to get the whole thing to move together you have constrain the top roof to the bottom roof and then constrain the 'capping" lines to the ridge and hips.Originally posted by JCM View Post
It does work. but as approx. 70% of my work is metal roofing I wish there was a better way.Attached FilesMark Balsom

I tried this for a rendering and it was nice...
I make a roof, I copy this roof with a small offset distance, like 10-12cm for example, and I make the new roof as glazing, using empty system panel and I use mullions to make the height difference. See attachment... the last image is the rendering from that project...Attached FilesRevit Architecture - 3ds MAX Design - Octane Render - and many working hours...Comment

The capping could also be applied as Roof Facias...
You´d need two profile families (or one with parametric slopes), and two Facia types.
In the attached example, I´ve not calculated the exact slope/angle for the hips, but the facias should join up nicely if I did.Attached FilesKlaus Munkholm
