Description
I have designed a residential project with a Mansard-type roof. How can I model this type of roof in Archicad?
Solution
Modeling roofs with multiple slopes on each side is possible in Archicad.
- Draw the roof using “Multi-plane” as the Geometry method.
- Go to Roof Selection Settings. In the Multi-Plane Geometry, click “Add”. Change the Pitch and Elevation values, then click OK.
- Select the reference line of the roof having the gabled side. On the pet palette, go to Custom Plane Settings. Change Plane Type to “Gable” then click OK.
- Adjust the node of the roof apex to the edge of the gable.
