The “Follow me” tool (4)

And finally, we must still draw the roof. Now that we have all the construction lines or guide lines, call it what you want, it is a piece of cake.

We need to use the “Line” tool option.
Then place the cursor in the middle of the upper edge of the house and click.
Move the mouse pointer straight up to the diagonal construction line, and click for a second time (1).
Move the mouse pointer to the intersection of the two construction lines, and click again (2).
Move the pointer vertically down to the height of the upper edge, and click again (3).
And finally, move the pointer back to the center of the upper edge of the house, and click for the last time (4).

This draws a plane that is the basis for our roof.

 

 

Select the “Select” tool, and click on the top face of our cube to select it.
Select the “Follow me” tool, and click the base plane of the roof.

 

As a result we have a modern looking roof.
This is not difficult, is it?.

I hear you thinking:
“You can also do this by dragging the base surface around the edge of the house with the “Follow me” tool.
That’s right, but why make it so hard when it so easy.

In the next lesson let’s see how we can solve the problem, such as having a hole in our roof.
