Basement, 1FL, 2FL all have slightly different footprints, and some of the roof is over 1FL, the rest is over 2FL. The 3D model looks as if the 1FL roof penetrates the 2FL structure.<br><br>How do I model something like this or a dormer? Or is it reasonable to simplify it away? I haven't tried making separate structures of the 1FL area that has roof over it yet- does that work?<br><br>Thanks, <br><br>Andy McLeod,<br>Mech, EIT</p></div></div></div>
