thank you so much for this tips, you didn't know how you saved me from getting emotional breakdown. I've been good doing hip roof during my first year manual drafting but today, i'm in junior year, yet i forgot how it works. it's so frustrating and i cant believe i actually forgot how to do it. thanks for helping me. have a wonderful life sir
Thank you for this video, I was just practicing roofs for hours until I've found this :) One item though is the ceiling resolution if part of it is cathedral and part not. If you have a tip please let us know. Best,
Great, quick, well explained lesson. Thanks so much! I'm working out a roof problem for a customer and trying to learn sketchup at the same time. I think I'll run this lesson daily until it becomes second nature.
Also, I saw someone do a neat trick for complex roofs where you find all the center lines, then make 45d angles at each corner, then select all the center lines and lift using "Move" the "Up Arrow". It makes perfect hips no matter what the width or ratios. You could even make a rectangle in the middle instead of a midline and make the top flat for doing other things. Does that make sense?
Great video. If I repeat this about 10 times, I expect to really learn some of the subtle processes ... and maybe generalize some of the concepts. Thanks for making a great work/learn project!
10:38 I made a hexagonal Pagoda roof the other day. Man! That was hard! It's still not perfect, but at least now I know how to do it. You'd prolly enjoy the challenge too!
New Subscriber, great content! I'd like to see these same roofs drawn using alternate methods than the ones shown here. If you could help to expand our approach thoughts?
Interesting I was hoping to see butterfly roof but I understand how you would get to it with the tutorials.is there any way I can find how roof edges are constructed
Can you further explain the "Follow me" tool? Conceptually I still don't quite understand how it works. How would I manipulate it in such a way that it would accommodate my specific dimensions?
Hi, I'm wondering if you could do a shed roof where the slope is on the diagonal, i.e. all four corners are at different heights from the base. Thanks for all your videos, have watched many many of them
All your tutorials are really helpful! do you have any tutorials showing how to model a sloped roof with velux windows? (this is for an interior model) thanks!
The top lines of the internal walls are showing through and the follow me function does not work correctly because of this. Even if I hide the lines from the top layer (internal roof) this does not seem to work. Any ideas?
None of the overhangs in this tutorial represent real world roof overhang design. It's a fair bit more complicated to make proper hip and valley roofs and in which order it should be done by (gable roofs, small roofs, largest ones first, etc). Would be great to create a tutorial that shows how a roof is really designed for the real world. The overhangs in a roof are supposed to go past and below the wall height.
Strange thing about roof design, mostly they are the same unless you travel and see Russian and Vietnam and some Egyptian then we see variety of roof design and most of them are positive geometry or flat but rarely negative roof which is like imbalance
One criticism for you, but hopefully it's a constructive one. All of the roof types you are modelling are just "drawn", however in the real world, I want to draw to specified dimensions and angles. So, how about including some explanation of how you would draw a roof with a specified roof pitch?
Fair point - obviously, first of all, it depends on the kind of roof you want to draw. Once I decide on that, I'd probably draw a rectangle that could act as a "canvas" to design my roof slope on, then use the protractor tool to draw the appropriate angles, then trace over that with the line tool. I'd still use the strategies in this video to model the actual roof geometry though. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for that. I'll give it a try using the protractor tool. However, as you say, the basic strategies are the identical to what you've demonstrated, once you've decided on the actual geometry you want to use.
This is why we create plugins, who wants to do all this work just to create a roof. If you want it exactly as you are going to build it with proper overhangs, rakeboards, fascia and the correct pitch I would suggest using a plugin to do that.
You just saved me from a mental breakdown 😭😭
Thank You🙏🙏
Wow! Incredible - the ease of how you created all those different types of roofs. Amazing!

Lol - if that helps :)
You are very very good person very creative and good teacher for us 👍 may you get more success
Awesome, that was a MUCH quicker way than I was thinking of doing it!!
Glad I could help!
Very cool. I was struggling with roof. I love the follow me tool to create complex roofs.
Glad it was helpful!
@@Thesketchupessentials what is the best way to add thickness to a complex hip roof shape? Select all faces and copy up?
Push/pull each face?
Your channel is SO WONDERFUL!! 🙏
You saved my life on this one!!!
Awesome!
Exactly what I was looking for to initiate myself to roof drawing! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Does that make sense?
would you be able to share to us the video?
thanks for your videos they are the easiest to understand
This was so helpful. Thank you so much.
Helpful beyond belief.
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks very much for watching!
I liked this video and learned a lot
Great tutorial work, keep it up !
Can you do a video on a basic portico over one door with 2 or 4 columns with a 30 or 45 degree roof. Thx
Amen for this video. Look back at this still in 2020. Still hate the intro though
thank you so much.... Grateful.... It helped me alot
Glad it helped!
thank you so much for this video. I got to learn a lot of essential stuffs.
Glad it was helpful!

Man! That was hard! It's still not perfect, but at least now I know how to do it.
You'd prolly enjoy the challenge too!
Thanks. Very informative and helpful video.
Awesome - glad you enjoyed it :)
Awesome Justin, How do we draw a sloped shed type roof
Thanks for sharing! 😊
Awesome tutorial. Really helps modeling my cabin with multiple pitch's (like my cabin). Break it down to roof by roof
Glad you liked it!
Wow interesting tutorial!
I liked this video! thanks!
Thank youuu! ♥️♥️♥️
Top man, thanks for sharing.
No problem 👍
Nice video! could you also pleas show how to model a clerestory roof? Thanks!
Smart tutorials, thanks alot
Thanks for watching!
New Subscriber, great content! I'd like to see these same roofs drawn using alternate methods than the ones shown here. If you could help to expand our approach thoughts?
Why do you want alternate methods?
Thank you much for this refresher.

a great tutorial thanks much
Hi, I'm wondering if you could do a shed roof where the slope is on the diagonal, i.e. all four corners are at different heights from the base. Thanks for all your videos, have watched many many of them
I'm having trouble visualizing what you're trying to do
Thanks bro❤
Thanks very much for your help :)
No worries!
How did you use scale tool for rotate perpose at 8 min?
fantastic info
Glad it was helpful!
Totally comprehensive 🤌🏼
Thanks a lot 🥳
NICE ONE❣
Thanks 🔥
I want a flat roof which is on a slight angle so the roof in one end of the room will be taller than the other end of the room. Does that make sense?
Wouldn't you just draw a flat plane, then rotate it?
Negative roof can generate water at night time and it called sky well in recent architecture I'm Vietnam where they try the water technology
thank you very much from india
Most welcome!
please could explain how to put material to these roofs and give a releatistic effect.
Thank You so much for this!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
:)
All your tutorials are really helpful! do you have any tutorials showing how to model a sloped roof with velux windows? (this is for an interior model) thanks!
No, but you'd really just model it the same way you'd model a window in a wall
Fentastic sir 🥰
Thank you 🙏
Hi. How do i use this technique but on multiple levels?
thank you justin
:)
thank you
Hi Justin, i need to ask you a question regarding roofs. Can email you?
Great content! What about doing a gable on one end and hip on the other end of a simple rectangle? Thanks!
Hello, how do you use automatic shape for followme button. I cannot do it properly becoz i will draw manually
very very thank you
great vid! thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Hi! I'm struggling terribly to create a hip and valley roof with multiple volumes, How can I get help???
Wow I love this it is very fun. But sadly, I only did 7 out of 9 because I didn't really understand the six sided circle stuff. 😞😞
Thank you!!!
Justin Geis - learning machine :)
Thank you!
😎
Is there a quick way to draw a half hip roof where it is a gable for part way up and the a hip for the last part?
Your video is very helpful!!
I'm having a little trouble visualizing what you're trying to achieve - do you have an image?
nice video's sir
The top lines of the internal walls are showing through and the follow me function does not work correctly because of this. Even if I hide the lines from the top layer (internal roof) this does not seem to work. Any ideas?
Sounds like maybe you have an Xray style on? ruclips.net/video/nAuwFZ9JX2M/видео.html
thank u so much!
Glad you liked it!
I know this video was 4 years ago but tysm I needed to make a roof for a house for a school project
Still glad it helped 😎
Thank you sir
Thanks for watching!
Hi Justin I got a blueprint and the roof I have different levels how u do that!!??
Model 1 level at a time? Then intersect your faces with model and delete out the extra?
How about modeling a roof when you have a specific pitch?
I believe you can set the slope with the extension
wow kilin it !
Thnx sir

so draw lines farther down and extrude
How to install the extension
THANKS BRO..
😎
try roofs from 1001 bit freeware( also the tools it has)!!
Roof by TIG is a great extension for this too
Strange thing about roof design, mostly they are the same unless you travel and see Russian and Vietnam and some Egyptian then we see variety of roof design and most of them are positive geometry or flat but rarely negative roof which is like imbalance
Great!!! Thanks
Thanks!
cool !
😎
How can I download windows and doors ? Can you please tel me
3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/
Show us how to create a dormer.
Thanks !!!
Thanks for watching!
if someone can help me i have a problem with offset it doesnt fill with colour
You mean there's no face? Draw over one of the edges and see if it heals a face in there
Appears the default is the distorted app wNice tutorialch softed terrible.

I use Sketchup Make and I don't find all the tools that you are using.
Try going up to "View," then selecting "Toolbars" and checking the box for the "Large Tool Set"
you!
