| How to draw a roof from the point cloudmorisdidonato 2025-09-16 15:29:21 I want to share a support request Request Can I draw the slopes of a roof using the point cloud as reference? Can I also define levels on the point cloud? Answer Yes, in Edificius it is possible to draw the roof outline on the Level where the horizontal section of the point cloud is present and complete the modeling in the roof editor, using both the horizontal and vertical sections as reference. How to proceed: - Insert a horizontal section at the highest point of the roof - Customize the section by increasing the thickness and optionally modifying other characteristics. - Open the Level where the horizontal section is inserted, for example Roof; - Select the Roof object from the Architectural menu and draw the roof boundary using the “point cloud” snap;  - In the Roof editor, select the object 3D Point from the menu and place the 3D points directly on the cloud in the 3D view; - Draw the slope from the plan view (for convenience, you can toggle the visibility of the cloud); - Place the slope line; - Incline the slope using the “point cloud” snap to indicate the level on the cloud; - Repeat the steps for the other slopes; - Insert the cornice and choose the type of cut. - Complete the roof modeling The procedure is similar if you choose to use the slope by 3 points.
