An easy question on Booleans for the experts... I'm trying to model a Roman temple out of primatives and using Boolean operations where required. I'm trying to do the roof. You've probably seen them. They are a kind of flattened ridge tent shape. I'm trying to do it with 3 boxes (one lying flat and two at an angle) and using Boolean difference. Here is my question. Is using Boolean operations the only way to do this kind of thing in Vue4? Ideally I would prefer to be able to draw a triangle and extrude it out to create the finished roof. Also, if I do use Booleans, is there a way to switch off the "construction lines" from the boxes that were subtracted. I find this really confusing when looking at the wire frame model. Thanks, Kevin
