Hi

Does anyone know if it's possible to create a pitched roof warehouse style building from a spline footprint in Railclone?

I'm looking to create something like the image below. 

All samples / tutorial videos I've seen of buildings from splines are flat roof only.

thanks

Neil

Maybe this extract from one of our webinars is of help, although it does use pre-size modular buildings.

Thanks Paul,

I'm looking to create the buildings from a spline footprint, but the important thing is having a pitched roof, ie. If i have geometry like this (see image), can I cleanup the location where the geometry joins at the top of the roof somehow? highlighted in red

I'm afraid there's not a way to clean that area up, RailClone isn't able to detect that intersection. If your warehouses are always rectangular, a simpler approach shown in the attached file might be suitable.



Cheers,
