To work on this, I'm going to zoom in here, and change the UCS so that it's on this surface. I'll type UCS, enter, Y, enter enter. So now the XY plane is on the surface. I'll set layer zero as the current layer. And draw a poly line to trace over this edge here. Going to snap it all the way around this shape that we have here on the walls. And I will also draw in a line going back in this other direction to the top of the tower itself. Now I'd like to isolate that layer zero and work on it, so I'll type lay iso. Click on that using selection cycling, which will enable you to select the line in particular, and then you can just work on that layer. Now down here we have the single line representation of the roof. I'd like to offset that, type O, enter for offset. 2, enter, for the distance. Click on the poly line and then click above it to offset that upward. And…
