@@TheCGEssentials Hello I have a question. So, I had some problems with the extrude tool when I was making the "Complex Hip Roof." So I used the knife tool like you said to make the base for the extrusion, but after I extruded that face it didn't go in a straight direction. I don't know how to explain this, but the face didn't extrude like yours did. It went along the y axis, but it also went upwards. Is there any way to fix this?
I've searched through several tutorials and you are absolutely the best instructor. There are several others who are helpful and I like their style, but there is something about how you step me through the process in a way that I am able to understand why it makes sense, whereas others either go too fast or add distracting conversation. Another thing you do that is different is that you help me remember the steps by using them over and over on variations of the same build. That way I have to look for the controls several times in the same tutorial. That helps me remember better. Thank you for helping me break through a learning barrier that I had developed.

Your tutorials are very very helpful to people like me who want to learn Blender. Your voice is calming and your pace is really easy to follow. Thank you so much indeed for the time you spent in making these tutorials.
I almost quit trying to learn how to make paper-cut-out houses in Blender today, but you gave me hope that maybe in the end I will succeed........... in my sidebar I see that you made a tutorial for cutting holes for doors and windows, I am so excited! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this tutorials....and you are a great teacher too.
Late to the party, but this is the video I've needed for more than a year. Roof 3 solved my confusion on how to achieve a particular shape! Thank you :)
I am trying to learn designing different things in blender as and when I can only as a fun because I like learning and making different things in different technologies. Your tutorials are awesome. Please keep it up. Thanks man
Thank you so much sir, this actually really helped me out, I just got into the world of Blender not too long ago, and this video in particular was one of the best tutorials which I have yet come across, really appreciate the tutorial, thank you so much!
HOW DID I MISS THIS???! Bro you were COOKING in this tutorial. PLEASE revisit this with some abstract tips and info on getting more interesting shapes done. I make these daily now for practice and love every moment. Also loving your other Arch videos... Thanks you SO much....
Also, use Edge Offset (in a certain add-on like Mesh Tools or something) and it allows you to take your ceiling, Edge offset, and get equidistant overhanging eave lines instantly. it's like an "outset" tool, instead of inset.
Is it a mere coincidence that this is the 7th video in the series and you show us how to model 7 kinds of roofs? In the 6th video, you show us 6 ways to make walls... lol!
Yeah that's all nice (and basic). I need such a roof on a donut shaped building ;) So what I need is to Shift+A, add a Cylinder, then another, one set inside the other to create a donut. Then put a roof on that! So the roof goes from inner circle to outer circle with a hole in the middle ! ;)
Very well explained and I like the different approaches. Just one question why I came across this video is that I'm struggling with topology and wanted to find out how others tackle it. As far as I can see is that you ignore triangles and n-gons in the last example of the complex shaped roof. Don't you? I did it the same way and worried about topology.
Depends. For most simple architectural applications where I can UV map just from a straight on view, I don't worry about it too much, but if I want to use some more advanced things, like inserting edge loops, etc, I pay more attention. Just depends on what I'm going to do
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! I have a request on how to create a special kind of geometrical shape but first I'll try to solve it myself. If I can't do it I'll ask you maybe we can come up with a solution.
Interesting examples. I'm a noob in 3D. I've worked a lot in Adobe Illustrator so that's my logic. What I'd love to see is a way to do these models precise, like with a transform palet or something. Can you do that in Blender?

Just click off the house in "object mode" until nothing is selected (outlined in orange or yellow). Add the roof, (shift+A), then and you'll see it's a separate object with its own name in the outliner.
You can type a value for precision. I use keyboard shortcuts, so I just would type: "e, x, 5," to extrude the selected item 5 units. But typing a value works with tools as well.
Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! :)

Perfect!

These are, hands down, the clearest and most useful Blender tutorials on the web. Thanks for taking the time to do them.
Glad you like them!

One of the best blender tutorials ever I kept trying to make a roof but nothing worked then I tried this and I was making a ton of roofs great job.
The value is huge with this one, thank you Justin, appreciate your hardwork!
This video is 3 yrs old and wow it is absolutely the best tutorial on youtube! Thank you!

ABSOLUTELY excellent tutorial ! once again, thank you VERY much for taking the time and effort. MUCH appreciated !! :)
Thanks. This helps a lot ! I really like how you show us many ways to do one thing and concentrate on making one subject

Really useful tutorial. There are lots of uses for these techniques. More modelling tutorials please. Thanks.
More to come!

Life saver very grateful mate
clear as can be. solves an issue or 2 for me. thanks
Yet again another great tutorial!
Just what I needed for my project. Thank you!! Well explained, easy to follow.
Glad it was helpful!
omg was going nuts trying to make a victorian house style hexagonly shaped room
Sweet tutorial! Liked and subbed.

Great video.
Thanks!
very good tutorial. helps me to understand the different approach of blender compared to sketchup. thank you very much
Man i love this one, you gave me so many different options for roofings, can you make tutorials on making simple and low poly trees and foliage?
This is so helpful, thank you so much. I'm doing a cabin and I was having so much problems doing the roof ;-;
Very helpful! Thanks!
Extrude Along Normals (Extrude Region Blender 2.79) is a such a great way to create realistic roofs. I struggled with gable roofs so long.
Love that tool :)
Thank you for sharing these tips.
Thanks for the video ✌️
No problem 👍
hold ctrl to get an increment.
alt click a face or edge (depends on your selecting mode) to select on a loop basically
Thank you these tutorials are perfect who is stupid enough to do basic things such as me
Glad they're helping!
Another Awesome tutorial.It's very useful.
Glad you liked it!
Amazing tutorial! do you have a video for creating corrugated metal roof with a little realistic textures?

thats so cool thannk you

Hi CG!! These are some great videos. I really enjoy these. I wanted to ask how to remove doubles in the latest version of blender 2.93. In the older versions you could hit control W to remove doubles. Is there a way to remove doubles in the latest version of blender ?
Hit m, merge by distance.
@@AutoCat10000 Thank you brother!! God Bless you for that !
cool
How to drag out and lock axis so it gets even? I tried Ctrl, Shift and alt none of them lock :)
Covering the fundamentals makes for good reinforcement. I met my bad pun quota for the day.
AT 10:18, could you just duplicate a top face of a shape rather than just trying to add a plane on it and shape it?

How do you do it if you want the roof to be a separate object?
Just click off the house in "object mode" until nothing is selected (outlined in orange or yellow). Add the roof, (shift+A), then and you'll see it's a separate object with its own name in the outliner.
@@andrewrichard3490 I'm much better at blender since I wrote this original comment! But thank you for the solution, I'm sure others will appreciate it

How do you control your extrude??
You can type a value for precision. I use keyboard shortcuts, so I just would type: "e, x, 5," to extrude the selected item 5 units. But typing a value works with tools as well.
when I accidently extrude rather than routate I hit ctrl z but then when I hit g this time its always extroding rather then routate
I solved this with selecting face and extrude somewhere then selecting face and try again this time it worked perfectly
or if you are in a hurry just bevel the boxes auto hip roof generation.
No offense, but you kind of sound like joker from the dark knight
where are the asians roof xd
Lol...maybe another video some day
nothing works
