By tracing the outline of the top of the wall, you establish a set of lines representing the shape of the roof. You can then convert those lines into a region, copy it up, loft surfaces between the regions, and sculpt the surfaces into a solid.
- [Instructor] We need to roof this building over here,…and the job should be relatively straightforward.…We just need to trace over the roof,…and I have the roof layer current, so I can just…start drawing lines.…I'll draw lines across here, and snap them in 3D…to all of these points…around the perimeter of the wall.…And then type c for close,…and then I'd like to isolate that layer,…so I'll type lay iso, select that,…I'll make a crossing window that includes the walls…and that layer, and then I'll turn off…walls, revealing that layer.…
And then turn it into a region,…copy the region up a foot,…loft, the surface between the two regions.…Make sure that the tangency is ruled,…it looks like it is in this case.…Sculpt those surfaces together,…these surfaces defined a watertight volume.…And now once we use the surf sculpt command,…we should be left with a 3D solid object,…and you can turn all the layers on and examine the results.…
