Hi All, So, moving on with my modelling nicely now! I'm trying to find an elegant way of modelling the ridge tiles on the lower part of the roof - it's the red lines in the image below. The ridge tiles at the top of the main roof, and the roof of the porch were easy, I could just extrude a sketch fo...

OK, yes, I think it's ok, as long as the sketch I am subtracting from the walls is not based on the walls themselves, but something earlier....

Thanks again!

Thanks! Yes, now I think I can see the problem. I have based the volume that I am subtracting from the walls on a sketch based on the walls themselves (which I thought made sense, I wanted the roof subtraction to start 3m up from the bottom of the walls). I will try basing them on another face - alt...

Hi All, This may well be another issue that I rapidly figure out myself, but at the moment I can't see any way round it. I'm moving on with my design, at the moment modelling my house and I will add the garage once that is done. I've got as far as designing the base house, I've added the walls and s...

Hi All, One thing I noticed: let's say I have a couple of different groups, for example "site" with my terrain, "walls" with the walls of my house and "roof" containing the roof (obviously!). The walls have an object subtracted from them so they match the contours of the roof. If I toggle the visibi...

Doh! Answered my own question..... needed to use "command" (on mac) so that both pad and wall were selected at the same time..... obvious now I've made it work of course!

Hi All, For some reason, the arch remove tool seems to have stopped working. It's quite possible that it's something on my machine, or that I am doing something different to how I remembered doing it before (it was definitely working!). I get the output shown below... I get the same thing with the d...

At the moment I'm really just playing with little test files, just trying to prove to myself that the software will do the things I want it to do. When I say the results are quite good, I just mean that a simple 4 walls with a couple of windows gave a nice clean SVG! Still, once I'm done or at least...

Thanks! I've been playing with Blender and the Freestyle renderer, which can export to SVG with hidden line removal - the results so far are quite good. So, if anyone needs a simple 3d perspective view in SVG, you can try exporting to OBJ, then import to Blender and render with Freestyle. Let me kno...

Great, thanks! I realised that I could probably just export the 3D view as SVG and import into the drawing in Inkscape etc later, but ran into a couple of problems: - The normal shaded 3D view has some artefacts when exported: is it worth providing some examples? - The wireframe would be perfect if ...
