Hi!
I was hoping someone could refresh my memory on how to create a shell (roof) on my structure. Please see attached. I'd appreciate any help. It's been awhile since I've wanted to do this... Thank you, Kimberly Test.dwg |

Hello Kmorgan, see my answer as a file in the CAD BIM Blocks library here in the site : Test[1]PJH.dwg ( file too big to be uploaded here ).
Please tell us if this helped or not.
See the remarks in red in the file.

philippe JOSEPH!
I can't thank you enough for your response. The drawing was very helpful! I appreciate all your time and energy. As for the sweep, I guess I didn't give enough information. The Legs are to be uneven. Please see attached. If you have a solution or maybe some other great tips, I'll take'em! I thank you again, for some newly gained knowledge and information. It's people like you and John Connor that make this such a great site! Test2.dwg |

Legs are uneven now? Not the same height? I'm not on my CAD computer at the moment so I cannot open your drawing.

Hey John!
No, same height. It's an octagon. I thought it was noticeable, but I thought wrong...The more information the better. Lesson learned, again.? Sorry philippe JOSEPH. So, I put it on a section plan in "test2". |

Kind of along the same lines as what philippe demonstrated except I did it for 1/8th of the roof then did a polar array to fill in the remainder.

I used three profiles and the loft command.
