+ | - Now create an outline (let's call it " | ||
+ | - Make //chajja// once again the current object. i.e. the helpers should be on that shape | ||
+ | - To do the next step; ensure that you are able to view the //corner number// of the shape. To do that, open the program settings (Press Ctrl-Enter inside TAD) and put a check mark on //Show current object name on screen// checkbox | ||
+ | - Press F3 or F4 till you are sure that the first helper that is on //chajja// is indeed on the zeroth corner of that shape | ||
+ | - Now briefly return back to the outline shape, p, that you had created earlier. The helpers would get shifted on to that shape. Now again press F3/F4 and make sure that the first helper of //p// is closest to the zeroth corner identified for the chajja. The corner no of //p// is irrelevant. | ||
+ | - At this point you are sure that both the shapes //chajja// and //p// are aligned and the corners are also in sync | ||
+ | - Last step: Return the helpers back to //chajja// i.e. make it the current object by clicking on its name in the top-left list of object names. Make sure that you do not shift the helper to any other corner other than the zeroth | ||
+ | - Now in the creation dialog, select the " | ||
+ | - Before creating the hip-roof, make sure that Chajja indeed is a 3D shape. i.e. it must be visible in the 3D view | ||
+ | - Now finally create the hip roof and enjoy! | ||
+ | |||
+ | TAD internally checks if all the inclined faces due to the hip-roof are all in the same 3D plane. If not, it will give a message and not create the hip-plane | ||
+ | |||
+ | //**Note** If the current object and the selction are not made anti-clockwise; | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are many variations of the hip-roof that can be tried out -- just use your imagination! | ||
+ | |||
+ | In future; we will be adding more such //substitutions// such as arches and domes. | ||
