Roof: overlapping slopes in error

Here's another interesting technical support case that may be of use to our users

how to proceed when closing the roof editor the error message appears



Answer
when closing the Roof editor some checks are carried out on the modeling of the slopes and consequently on the correct closure of the Roof.

One of these controls concerns the overlap between adjacent slopes

In the event that one aquifer overlaps another, a specific message indicates the anomaly. In the plan view of the roof, the area relative to the overlap between the two layers is perimetered with a red contour line while the layer that undergoes the overlap is yellow (click HERE to view an image).

By confirming the message, you can exit the editor, but the overlapping flaps will not appear in the 3D model while in the level they will be reported as in error. (click HERE to view an image).

To complete a correct modeling of the Roof, it is necessary to eliminate the overlap between the slopes.

How to proceed:
1) on the message click the "Cancel" button;
2) in the plan view, zoom in the overlap between the slope;
3) once the slope has been identified, select the vertex that overlaps the other slope and, using the snaps, place it correctly as to make it coincide with the vertex of the adjacent aquifer.

The operation must be repeated for all the layers that overlap each other.

Once the overlay has been resolved, the Roof editor can be terminated without further warning.
