solver Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 What view(s) do you need? You can dimension in plan, elevation and sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckpace Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 i am needing a view, from the top, of just the roof. would i just turn off everything but the roo planes, in "display options"? is there an easier way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 You can get that with an Orthographic over view and then under "3D" you set the "3D Views" to "Top View" to obtain a roofs only view straight down view on the roof. take a look!

It's common to show the outline of exterior walls in a light color, main layer only, no fill etc, or even dashed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckpace Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 ok. i just copied the plan and then deleted everything except the roof... to get the look i was after, some of the gables are drawn as a 2nd story, but it isn't really a 2nd story room. because of this, part of the roof is displayed on floor 1 and part on floor 2. is there a way to display the roof of both floors simultaneously?

DavidJPotter Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 What Eric is referring to is a command in the Edit Toolbar that allows you to select a roof plane and order it to appear on "the Floor Above or the Floor Below" specifically for plan view displays like you wish to make.
