Re: Columns, Beams, and Roofs I apologize. I need more handholding. I have my real simple model, in csv form ``` Name Width Depth Height Visible Metal beam 504 9 7.875 true Metal beam 504 9 7.875 true Metal beam 504 9 7.875 true Porch column 13.125 13.125 204 true Porch column 13.125 13.125 204 true Porch column 13.125 13.125 204 true Porch column 13.125 13.125 204 true Porch column 13.125 13.125 204 true Porch column 13.125 13.125 204 true Porch column 13.125 13.125 204 true ``` I managed to install the roof manager, but after reboot, the plugin is always grayed out. Similarly, I don't know how to set the elevation. Do I start with Plan->Add Level; and then call this level "-1", put it at -6', give it 6' high, and then view it? All good and easy, but I still need to be able to somehow indicate that I have a floor. at 6', and that I want my porch column to go down 6', and then punch out to the ceiling. (ideally, my floor would be semi-transparent, so that the underground part looks a little more grayed out than the above ground of the column.) Pointers appreciated. |
