Mitering Roof Slabs Using Edges
Use this procedure to miter two roof slabs that do not intersect. You can select particular edges to miter. You can miter
edges of overlapping roof slabs without trimming the entire slab. To accomplish this, however, you may need to insert
additional vertices. Only one edge of each roof slab is mitered.
If you need to miter multiple edges of a roof slab, stretch them to overlap the other roof slab and then miter them at
their intersection. For more information, see “
Mitering Slabs/Roof Slabs by Intersection
” on page 1336.
Mitering roof slabs by edge
1
Select one of the two roof slabs you want to miter, right-click, and click Miter.
2
Enter e (Edges) to miter selected edges of the roof slabs.
3
Select one edge on the first roof slab.
4
Select one edge on the second roof slab.
Cutting a Slab/Roof Slab
Use this procedure to cut a slab or roof slab into two or more slabs/roof slabs. You can use any 3D object or polyline
to define the cutting geometry. If you use a 3D body, such as a wall, slab, mass element, or closed polyline, the slab/roof
slab is cut along the intersection lines of the surfaces.
The slab/roof slab is cut only when the 3D body or closed polyline intersects its perimeter line. If you use an open
polyline, the slab/roof slab is cut along the projection to its surface.
In either case, when the intersection line crosses the slab/roof slab multiple times, multiple slabs/roof slabs are created.
If the intersection line has multiple edges, multiple edges are added to the new objects.
The smoothness (tessellation) of curved edges is controlled by 2 AEC display resolution settings called Facet Deviation
and Facet Maximum. Beginning with Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007, you can adjust these settings after the
slab/roof slab is created. Also, the individual segments or facets making up a curved edge are no longer treated as separate
edges; each arc on the perimeter of a slab/roof slab is treated as a single edge. For more information, see “
Specifying
the Display Resolution of Objects with Facets
” on page 118.
1
Draw an object or polyline for defining the cutting geometry.
2
Select the slab or roof slab to be cut, right-click, and click Cut.
3
Select the objects or polylines that represent the cutting geometry, and press
ENTER
