#HOW TI SKETCH PLANES IN CRYSTAL MAKER SERIES#
I have created a series of coloured rectangles. This time we are going to approach the roof design a little differently. In this step, the hip lines have been drawn in and the temporary lines shown in red can be deleted.Īs you can see, this is a floor plan layout of a house based on the previous example layout, but with an extra pieces taken out. In this step, we have again drawn in the temporary lines of the hips and the vertica and horzontal lines for the imaginary box. In this step, I have drawn in the hip (purple colour) from the previous steps working out, and also deleted the temporary dashed lines from the previous step. I always try and work out pieces of the roof into rectangles or squares to aid in working out roof line placement. This is a good method for working out roof designs. These lines help to show you where to start the hips from. The other 2 lines (the horizontal and vertical line) are there to make an imaginary box. The 45 degree angle lines represent the hips. In this step, I have drawn in some dashed lines. Now we can draw in the ridge lines as shown. This is the finished roof showing the fall direction of each of the roof planes.Īs you can see, this is a floor plan layout of a house based on the previous example layout, but with an extra piece taken out. Now we can draw in the last hip to complete the roof. We can now trim off the valley line and hip line lengths that were unknown from the previous step. In this step, we add in the ridge lines starting from where the hips that are established join. Would have a point 1500mm (1.5 metres) across from the edge of the external wall, and up 1500mm (from that point). In this example, the wall of 3000mm (3 metres) The exact point can be calculated by drawing a point half the width of the wall, across, and up. We will determine there length in the next step.Īll the other lines making up the hips can be calculated by joining them where they intersect. The internal roof lines are called valleys and the external roof lines are the hips (as shown).Īs you can see, the 2 lines to the top left of the image are just drawn in approximately. To start drawing in the hipped roof, draw lines at 45 degree angles from all the points on the roof as shown in blue. These can be any value but I have made them different sizes for this exercise to work as intended. One wall is 4000mm (4 metres) and the other 3000mm (3 metres). Note the 2 different widths of the walls.

#HOW TI SKETCH PLANES IN CRYSTAL MAKER HOW TO#
I recommend reading each example to ensure you have read all the information offered as the same information is not repeated in each example.Ĭlick on the examples below to view the tutorial on how to draw that roof design.Īs you can see, this is a floor plan layout of a house. Roofs can become quite complex but hopefully the different ways I show you how to approach the roof design may be helpful.Īll measurements shown are in mm (millimeters) This is a guide on how to draw a hip and valley roof in 2D plan view.
