Hi, this is my first post so be kind to me :) My problem: I attached a picture so in case I explain bad my problem you can see the picture. On the picture you can see a wall and a roof. Now a used command extrude to pull up the wall. I would like the wall to follow the line of the roof. One corner is OK but as you can se the wall is going over the roof. Everytime a use the extrude command the upper wallside is allways parallel to th bottom. Now is the roof is design like on this picture how can I tell the autocad to extrude the wall only to the roof and not beyond. God, i hope I explained good my problem. Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, Miro |

I can't seem to "see" your picture (miropicture.jpg). Can't you use the SLICE command to solve your problem? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

Hello, Thanks again for answering mail question. OK, I will try the SLICE command, but I was wondering there got to be another way. For example if I draw an oblique line (representing the roof) and the when I use the extrude command to “pull” up the wall so that the wall meet the roof line. This way I would not need first to extrude the wall beyond the roof and then use slice command to cut of the parts of the walls that I don´t need. Thanks once again for helping me.
Best regards |

Yes there is. Draw the wall profile in the vertical to match the roof line and then extrude it. You do not have to do all your extrusions from a 2D plan view.
