„round“ forms rafters - how to do them?

Vilmantas · 28. Juli 2009

Hello, friends, how are you?
I am working with inetersting form of roofs and of course the rafters, please take a look to attach drawings and if someone knows please explain.

Hello Vilmantas,

you should have a look at this thread to get an idea what is possible with Dicam.

And another thread.

Vilmantas · 29. Juli 2009

hello, Der_planer
that is all what I need, but problem is that I dont understand German language :oops: :cry:

Hello Vilmantas,

I'll try a very short description:
- make an assisting wall at the front of the dormer, only for the purpose to carry assisting geometry of the rounded shape
- use extrusion with direction "point to point" to create the raw volume of the rounded dormer
- use 2-9-x functions to cut the volume into slices (do not use any machinery function!
- delete the parts between the "rafters", and be lucky to see your "Fledermausgaube"

Vilmantas:
Google translate seems to work pretty good at time..... try it and see if it works for you....

Good luck...

Thanks,
I already did rounded shape with assisting geometry, but I dont extruding them??? How to do it? I had tried with function Measure and with Internal point, but something wrong - it is not modeling. :cry: I think, I am doing it in wrong way. Please explain much more. Thanks for you both. :wink:

Hello Vilmantas,

perhaps it will be helpful for you to read this thread.
Or this one.
Or here.

Did you find some answers?

Vilmantas · 5. August 2009

Hi, Der_Planer,
at last I am find time and possibilieties to try that. You know, I am meet other problem - I cant separate round dormer „rafter“which is create not in horizontaly possition or in corner. Horizontaly works ok. Please look to pictures.

Der_Planer · 5. August 2009

Hi Vilmantas,

which function do you try to use to divide the block into rafters?
Sometimes it helps to play with precision values, or use other methods instead of dividing cuts.

It would be helpful, when you upload the position file.

Vilmantas · 5. August 2009

I am usually using separating functions. Here is my file.

Der_Planer · 5. August 2009

Hi Vilmantas,

it seems, that the program really does not like your extruded part.
I wasn't able to treat it with version 7. With many tricks I could do it in version 8, and reconverted it back zu a v7 file, so you can read it again.

I only used 2-7-x and 2-9-x functions. You will not find any cut in the process list.

Vilmantas · 5. August 2009

So, you mean, that with 6,02 version it is not possibilieties to separate it?

Vilmantas · 5. August 2009

Do you have ideas how to construct wood (rafters and plates) construction under the dormer? Here must be living space with balcony windows and doors.

Der_Planer · 5. August 2009

It should also be possible in V6, but perhaps this version has some problems.
Even in V8 it was not too easy.

construction idea: look at the picture.

Vilmantas · 5. August 2009

I am think same (about the beams). Are here is posibilieties to copy (replace) your dormer from your model to mine other (and double place)?

Der_Planer · 5. August 2009

I already did copy the dormer into your model. Didn't you see it 5 posts before this (00061010.zgb)?

You can copy/push/turn it in Dicam as often as you need it.

Vilmantas · 12. August 2009

Thank you very much, Der_Planer, you had help me.

Here are your ideas for other consrtuctors:

Zitat von Der_Planer

Yes, you can copy parts to an other project.
- activate the parts
- save the active parts with Dicam 1-1-6 as a new project
- change into any other project and insert the parts with 1-1-7

All parts will keep their coordinates, as they were saved.
With the full version of Dicam, you would be able to save parts into a library, and insert them from point to point, where ever you need them. No more pushing or turning necessary.
