Trimming the lower construction line extensions using the Fence option
within the
TRIM
command
4.
Select one of the vertical lines extending down from the floor plan,
and open the Properties palette (Ctrl+1).
Notice that the extension lines are no longer construction lines.
By using the
TRIM
command, you defined a start point for each con-
struction line where it intersected a cutting edge. Since construction
lines extend to infinity in both directions, our line is reduced to a ray.
As you may recall, a ray has a start point but no endpoint.
5.
The roof extends a little further than the rest of the roof where the hot
tub is located. Start the
TRIM
command, and select the two lines shown
in Figure 10.12 (top).
After choosing the cutting edges, pick above and below the cutting
edges as shown in Figure 10.12 (bottom) to trim the construction lines.
6.
Start the
TRIM
command again, selecting the two roof extension lines
you just created along with the bottom roof line as cutting edges (see
Figure 10.13).
Use a total of three crossing windows to complete the
TRIM
command,
as shown in Figure 10.13.
7.
Start the
FILLET
command from the Home tab
➢
Modify panel. Using
a 0 radius, pick the left side of the top roof line and the rear (left side)
vertical roof extension line.
8.
Repeat the
FILLET
command, this time selecting the right side of the
top roof line and the front (left side) vertical roof extension line.
This completes the roof outline in your elevation view. The only
thing left to do is clean up the lines defining the two windows.
