The weather’s been awful day today because we’ve been catching the fringes of the violent storms that have been lashing the southern parts of the UK. It’s been worse in northern France so it’s lucky that the Savannah’s being stored in the secure hangar at la Fert\u00e9 Gaucher until things begin to improve and I can go up to collect it. But for now I’m still concentrating on my house plans and have been working all day on the roof.<\/p>\n

And it’s been very tricky. Because the rafters in the lower part of the front roof elevation will be modified, I’ve had to include them in my model, and if those have to be shown in the plans, it would look a bit stupid if all the rest weren’t as well. So I’ve been painstakingly adding all of them to my model, and because my house is not a regular shape, as I mentioned in the previous post, I’ve had to put them all in manually one-by-one.<\/p>\n

It’s taken all day to finish the job, including the ‘kick-outs’ at the bottom on both the front and back of the roof, but the results look pretty authentic, as the following two pictures show.<\/p>\n

I’ve experimented a couple of times with putting the roof covering (tiles) on and have identified a couple of snags. These are again due to the fact that the software expects roof coverings to be applied to regularly shaped areas, not sloping trapeziums, and I’m going to have to identify some kind of work-round. I’ve got a couple of ideas how to do it so I’ll have to try them out tomorrow. But now it’s time for bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
