And from the other angle the roof has a more complex shape over here. So I'd like to sketch this more complex form and trace over it. I'll go to layer zero and set that as the current layer while I'm working on this temporarily. And then note that the UCS is parallel to the sketch. Draw a polyline and trace the lower edge here of this roof going around the lowest part of it over here, and then draw a line straight down some arbratory distance like that. Now I'd like to move that polyline into position over the tower. So move last over from the sketch over this way in the blue direction using Ortho. I want to exclude the blue direction from the point filter so the point filter will be point xy in this case. Enter, at enter, and then click on the corner of the wall over here.
