1

- [Narrator] So we've placed our beams, our columns,

2

our slabs and our walls, but we're missing the roof.

3

And so throughout this course, I kind of wanted to build

4

up the building as you would do it kind of

5

in the field as you're constructing it.

6

So now what we need is a roof.

7

So let's go back to the floor plan.

8

And in your toolbox, you have the roof tool.

9

Again, if you push that fly out window

10

you have some different roof options.

11

And so let's go to the settings itself.

12

So if you open this up,

13

you can select what the home story is.

14

So right now we only have one level.

15

So let's put this roof on this second floor for now.

16

And then the height above the base of the roof is 10 feet.

17

So that's a little high.

18

We actually probably want it to be zero

19

so that it's the top of that wall.

20

So let's just put zero and you have the option

21

of having a basic roof or a composite roof.

22

Let's use a composite roof for this one.

23

And so the composite roof, we have a few different options

24

and we can use a roof with shingles.

25

So we have a roof that's 5 1/2 inches thick,

26

has OSB oriented strand board plus some shingles

27

and it has a designation of RO3.

28

So it's like that.

29

And it is a multi plane roofs.

30

That means that when you make it,

31

it's going to be one connected object.

32

So let's go with that for now.

33

And this is the pitch of the roof.

34

So let's make it a three and 12.

35

So we can either do three inches in 12.

36

We could do a percentage.

37

We could do a degree or we could do an angle.

38

So I'm just going to make it three inches.

39

So three, four slash,

40

and I want the eave overhang, let's say a foot.

41

So I'm just going to type one.

42

And then we've the curve resolution.

43

So if it was a circular roof,

44

I can adjust how to find that curve.

45

So we're not going to adjust that here.

46

And then let's look at some of the other options.

47

Again, we can show it on the home story, but you know

48

for this one, I want to show it on the home story.

49

And then I'm going to show on one story down

50

so that I can see it on the first floor.

51

And then I want to show overhead all.

52

And I want to show dashed on the first floor

53

so when I place it, it'll give me kind of a dash line.

54

So I'm going to select that.

55

And then again, with kind of all the elements

56

that you can place,

57

you can adjust depends here.

58

And that's why the favorites, which you can find

59

at the top of the screen here are helpful is

60

because if you start to use certain types of roofs

61

or any other elements, and you don't want to be messing

62

around with pens or line types or things like that

63

you can go up here and then you can save the rooftops

64

so that if you're using something a lot

65

or you're repeating the use of it

66

then you can just create a new favorite

67

by pushing that little star and the plus.

68

And then you're able to save that and use it again.

69

And that becomes important if you have like a large office

70

or in the size office really,

71

and you're trying to be consistent with your drawings

72

or how things look, you can start to create the favorites

73

of how you want your objects to look

74

on plan and elevation in the materials that they use.

75

And so this is a composite roof

76

and now we're going to look at the model element

77

and I don't really want to override this

78

because it is a composite.

79

It already has a bunch

80

of different surfaces associated with it.

81

So I'm okay with it looking the way it is

82

within the base settings that come with this roof element.

83

So I'm going to say, okay, and I just check the layer,

84

make sure it's on the right layer and say, okay.

85

And I can create a roof in a few different ways.

86

So right now it's set to multi plane and then

87

you can also do a single plane and I'll show both of those.

88

And then you can also do it as rectilinear

89

or you can do it as kind of a polygon construction method

90

or it can be a couple of different other options.

91

So you can do a hip or you can do a gabled roof.

92

So let's use the gabled roof and then, yeah,

93

let's use the gabled roof.

94

And so if I first click there,

95

so it's going to allow me to kind of go

96

around the edge of the walls and create that gabled roof.

97

So it's a little bit off actually, I'm going to change it.

98

So I'm still in the operation.

99

I'm not comfortable with how off that is.

100

I could change it after, but I'm going to change it now.

101

So I'm going to just click onto this polygon method.

102

I'm going to click there.

103

I'm going to click over here

104

and click that edge, zoom out, zoom in and there.

105

So now I have my rift and let's look at that in 3D.

106

So view elements in 3D view

107

and let's just look at it and see how it shut up.

108

So one of the settings that I adjusted,

109

I wanted to be on the second floor

110

but what I did is I actually put it on the first floor.

111

So let's go to the settings.

112

So I'm just going to have to click the settings.

113

And the home story is on the second floor

114

but I put it 10 feet below the second floor.

115

So let's just put this at zero and push "Enter."

116

And there we go.

117

So now we have it at the right elevation.

118

And so this is an overhang here.

119

And so I'm just going to make a quick adjustment

120

to this so that it represents kind of that overhang.

121

And I'm going to do it by clicking on this.

122

And so what I can do is click that edge where it's blue

123

and I can create a node on that line.

124

And so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go all the way

125

down to the edge here.

126

And I'm just going to find out where that edge is here.

127

So I'm holding the shift and I'm in the same plane

128

as where it was before.

129

But if I let go to shift overhear,

130

but I can get close to it again and push shift.

131

And so I'm going to find that little edge there

132

and that's where I want it.

133

And this edge is already there.

134

So what I'm going to do is I'm just do a little trick

135

and I'm going to grab somewhere

136

along the edge and not one of the nodes.

137

And I'm just going to click this offset edge.

138

And this is similar

139

to all the other tools that we've been looking at.

140

And so I'm going to go over to the edge of that beam.

141

And since this is a connected roof, it's all one

142

and I can move it and it'll adjust automatically.

143

So let's just look at that real quick.

144

So let's go to view, 3D view options, and then we'll go

145

to elements in 3D view and then show in 3D.

146

So there we go.

147

It's starting to look like a house for the most part.

148

And the roof looks pretty good.

149

It seems logical.

150

So that's a quick overview of the roof tool.

151

There's a lot

152

of different methods that you can use to create these roofs.

153

And this is just the quickest

154

and we'll dive a little bit more

155

into this further down the course.
