SketchUp Skill Builder: Hip Roof

[@MSinclairStevens]

Wow! That was amazing. What a timesaver!

[@AD-Dom]

Highly recommend the 3d connexion mouse he's using. This is a solid example of time saving!

[@GimliTehDwarf]

OMG this is a huge time saver...lol so simple yet nobody thinks of it

[@Pulse2AM]

Awesome, just what I needed for my curent model. Thank you!

[@mikegriffiths3440]

usually in construction your common rafters are birds mouthed over your top plate and your over hang is a little lower than the top plate, how can you do that? many thanks

[@Opuscus]

Work it out in a 2D section - Easy

[@vincecabagay9928]

Why does mine results to a hip roof but with a square/rectangle space at the middle. Is there a perfect ratio of length and width in order for it to work perfectly?

[@iism1]

And after 8 years, how can I thank you?

[@ralphiantolentino7941]

Thank you very much!

[@АлексейЖуков-э6ъ]

SketchUp is possible to issue estimates for the House to make the specification process and visualize the sequence of construction of the house, to issue the drawings and so on?

[@ranaabdelahi7996]

Thanks

[@EarlLewis]

Wow! I had no idea it could be that easy. Great video!

[@talentdavid845]

You are di best!

[@mandiragowda1204]

Thank you soooo much

[@mikemead55]

thanks for sharing that!

[@tivatavi]

How did you move camera so smoothly?

He uses a 3d space mouse

[@tivatavi]

​@@___.___.___.___.___.___.___ Ahhh I see. Much appreciated.

[@xclusvvtv4477]

Wow!! I learn this in school!! But...i dont know if there is a follow me thing...:s

[@sdlomzem7815]

Good

[@Gotdurt]

Except that it isn't built this way... the overhang & facia usually drop below the top plate, depending on the pitch.

[@BDNWTKFG]

Thats ONLY good if you are building a "play" model or you intend to use TRUSSES. If you are doing REAL WORLD FRAMING, that's not even close. How do you do it with a RAFTER on a top plate with a BIRDS MOUTH? - do you just lower the "top plane of the building" where it EQUALS where the actual framing will be??

Super fast!

[@jessicawhitten454]

I'm left with a huge, flat opening at the top of my roof. How do I fix this?

[@oah1970]

Djy

[@simonevans4280]

I do this but to save time erasing things, I would choose the widest part of the roof and draw its half section (ie. the section from the ridge to the eaves), then use that to extrude around the building. Only the roof sections that are narrower would then result in geometry that needed erasing.

[@Spidamation]

Hey Simon, how are you? Do you mind clarifying what you meant by your tip? I am not too easy on the English at times. If you can, thank you much in advance but it not thank you for simply sharing your tip here! Stay loved!

[@cadnaancabdiwaxid6408]

thanks

[@tallswede80]

What is reverse faces and why did you use it?

[@spacecraftbuildingservices]

Wow. I just spent 3 evenings trying to do that! Great vid. Thanks

[@ahmedabdullah1704]

how he did close up?

[@marilynthomas1848]

This is great! How about buildings with several plate heights?

[@five-am]

3:10 why reverse faces?

[@nusarsitek1099]

thanks

[@jon6288]

every time i try this the roof either doesn't follow the roof line correctly (overhang goes way out on some sections of the building) or it doesnt do the whole surface of the roof. for example, it wont do roof areas that face interior courtyards.

[@aarondietzen2995]

Hi Jon! Unfortunately, I cannot really picture what you are seeing. The best way to get help would be to post on our forum (forums.sketchup.com). There you can post your model, or an image and get hundreds of skilled modelers offering help!

[@maxvandenhoven2320]

There is actually a free plugin that can create hip roofs! It is called 1001 bit tools i believe and it can create more advanced geometry like windows and doors.

[@maxvandenhoven2320]

+- Lets Build With Sketchup - In a sense that is true and i like to create a lot of things myself too, but i do a lot of rendering and sometimes it is just handy to let a plugin make a roof for example so you can get an idea of how something will look before you put a lot of time into it so drom that point of view i wouldnt call it cheating.

[@maxvandenhoven2320]

+- Lets Build With Sketchup - thanks for agreeing ;) but by looking at your channel is a good way to verify your point made, you seem to have a lot of skill and great work!

[@maxvandenhoven2320]

+- Lets Build With Sketchup - how about building your own workstation? it can be a lot cheaper than a laptop and is much more powerful, if you want me to pick parts for a custom workstation build you can pm me and i can maybe help you out?

[@matak99]

+Max van den Hoven Medeek also has a roof builder plug-in that's a snap to use. More functional that the 1001 bits one but unfortunately is on a one month time trial basis. But then again, it's only $20
