how to draw a skillion roof + roof question


Recommended Posts

and if it isn't, could a mod please move this thread to a more suited location. Anyway, im a tafe student and still learning autocad and building design. The project we are on at the moment is do a renovation and extension.

 

Attached is the site plan with floorplan, a elevation and just the floorplan im using to do up elevations.

 

Now I am going with a skillion roof design on the new section, which is everything past the first four rooms. North is heading towards the top of the page, south to the bottom. So the four rooms to the west is old, everything past is new. There is also an outdoor courtyard in the middle of the new section.

 

Which way would it be best to slope the roof? Would it be best to start it at the north and slope down to the south, or start at south and slope to the north? And also how do you draw a skillion roof on plan and elevation? I've done some research and it seems for a plan you just draw the roof outline, and for the elevation, on one side the roof is higher and the other side it's low (looking at it front and back)

 

Thanks for help guys

From Wikipedia:

 

"A skillion roof is normally a single sloping roof surface, not attached to another roof surface. Skillion roofs are sometimes called a shed roof, a flat roof, in the UK and Australia."

One learns something every day, a skillion roof.

Back to the boards! :oops:

 

Left the end views open to show detail. I don't like tar roofs, used shakes. o:)
