How to extract a building with multiple different roofs.

Featured Replies

I have a design to complete with a very complex roof line where there are multiple different roofs at different angles tilts and hight.

How can I extrude all the data with out drawing each and every roof type with PVSOL.

Dear Erich Albrecht,

Thank you for your inquiry.

For complex buildings, draw a polygon for each roof segment and extrude an ‘Arbitrary Building’ for each polygon. Adjust the roof dimensions (pitch, eaves height) to create a closed roof surface.

You can then use the ‘Deactivate Collision’ function (right-click on a roof segment) to move parts of the building into each other (if necessary).

In this YouTube video, we use an angled bungalow to show you how you can assemble a complex roof from several roof segments:

You can also send us your project file and/or a sketch of your building (hotline@valentin-software.com) and we will make you a proposal on how we would construct the building.
