Substitutions

TAD handles extrusions directly and easily. Just specify a level and a height; and it will create the desired extrusion.

For complex geometries; you would need to substitute some part of the object or the whole object itself using some special instructions.

Currently, a hip-roof can be created on any volume on the site. Follow the instructions here carefully

  1. Say you want to create a hip-roof over an object called “chajja”
  2. Firstly, ensure that it is made in anti-clockwise fashion. If you are not sure, you can right-click on that object name in the list of names of objects (usually at the top left of the screen) and then use Remake shape anti-clockwise
  3. Now create an outline (let's call it “p”) within the shape of chajja. Say at a distance of -0.25 (Minus, means the outline is created inside the shape)
  4. Make chajja once again the current object. i.e. the helpers should be on that shape
  5. 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)

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.
