fascia

Hi Michael and all ...

This simple model was originally built with Rhino some time ago ... all the styles relate to Flamingo rendering materials and the trees were Flamingo.

I was simply using it as an experiment today ...

I removed the original fascia from the lower roof and drew a closed line around the perimeter of the roof ... then a rectangle (you can see it hanging in space near the front porch post).

I thought it might sweep to create a continuous fascia board for that roof (similar to what is now there). I tried sweep in all the ways I could imagine and got unsatisfactory results.

I finally built the fascia as a series of extrusions. This worked well but I was looking to find something more automatic and one shot. Am I missing something basic or hoping for something MoI won't yet do?

Thanks in advance for advice.

cheers,
eric

PS ...

I did build a relatively simple window frame with stops for the glass ... beautiful and instantaneous.
thanks
