Hi. Great great work, very well explained and illustrated. I did all of this first part and now will approach second part, with Rhino evaluation. Really really great and clean workflow! Bye, hope to meet you somewhere!

You can speed up your arch modeling process with VisualARQ, but when it comes to architectural visualisations, I guess modeling shouldn’t be a problem, it is pretty easy, but rendering is a part you should work on more.

Thanks for your response Ivan, I’m going to give it another go when I get home. Really excited about this, I’m enjoying 3D modeling. Oh just have one quick question. Most of the modeling I’m going to be doing would be architectural related. What addon to Rhino would you recomemed for this? I know there are a couple available but before I purchase anything I thought I would ask you first before making any decisions. Thanks again for your assistance, its much appriciated. Ciao

ok, what you need to have is two objects. one object that is representing the walls of your first floor, and the second is box on top of that walls object.
By copying the roof surface, you will end up with two exact surfaces. So, just copy it, (don’t paste yet) and trim with it the upper box. Then, after trimming join and hide that box. Next, paste your surface, and trim that surface and walls object. Join that too.
That is all.

I’m really enjoying modeling this house but I don’t understand the steps between image 21 & 22. I’m stuck there. Feel like something is missing.
*I paste from the clipboard the second roof surface and trimed the wall polysurfaces. What do I join? I asume you are refering to the wall and roof surface I just paste. What about the previous roof surface and trimed roof slab I joined? In my drawing now I have two roof surfaces, one joined to the wall polysurfaces and the other to the trimed roof slab. My model does not look like yours in image 22. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? Thank You.
