Hi everyone. I am new to Vue, and I am trying to build a house. So far I have used primitives for it all, and its going well. I have gotten stuck with this roof though. The two lighter pieces shown that form a V need to have some sort of triangle or something to connect them. I tried inserting the pyramid and the cone shaped one in there, but it's not working out too well. Because of the angles of the main sections I am having trouble with the angle of the pyramid or the cone. I want it all to eventually look like one piece. Or am I going about this all wrong? Any pointers or help with this dilema would be greatly appreciated. Any pointers with the whole of the project would be welcome too, as I am very new to the whole program. It would be nice if someone knew of some good tutorials for this application. If needed, I am using Vue 5 Infinite.

If you want a whole piece, I suggest to delete those two planes (they're planes, right?) and replace them alltogether with a pyramid that you have booleanized in the upper part to remove the top so that it fits completely inside the bigger cubic structure. Anyway let me suggest you that for this kind of modeling it would be much better if you learn a modeling program. Wings3D is free, and is a great program to start modeling. It will take you a few days to learn it, but once you do, you will not regret it.

Well, once, I was new to Vue too, and at that time, there was a challenge to build something using just primitives... I built a small one room, house and everything else in the above scene... If you go to the link below, you can see details... Althoguh later I learned to model in Rhino, doing everything in Vue was a nice challenge and a lot of fun, and in the end, I got my house... :) For detail, go to this link http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=101015&Start=25&Artist=tradivoro&ByArtist=Yes You can see inside the room... Everything was done in Vue... As far as your original question, you gotta show more of what you're building, cause I really can't see what part it's not working for...

I also once modeled a house completely in Vue (see linked image in my gallery). I made the triangles carrying the roof from flat cubes which I formed into triangles by putting other cubes diagonally over them and using boolean subtractions. This was rather tedious so I might today (if I would try it again) use terrains for this purpose just like I did for the walls. The sides of the roof, however, are just flat cubes. Vue is not particularly good at modelling ;-) but I think you learn quite some things about the program messing around with this stuff.
