Roofing Help
« on: April 24, 2013, 01:42:52 PM »
I decided to try my hand at building a consignment/alchemy shop/nectary/cafe and since I'm overall inexperienced at building, I have no idea how to build the roof!

Help?

You can always use the auto roof feature if you want.

Otherwise I would suggest using the hipped roof. Just put the arrow at one end of the roof and drag it across to the opposite corner. If you don't like it you can always undo.

Roofing is one of the harder skills, and the roof tool is not very flexible. You probably have to try several different things before you find something you think is good.

Don't forget that you can stack roofs on top of each other, as well as, adjust the hight of either one, or different roof sections.

Thanks!
Another thing that's been bugging me is...
Is there any way I can place a working Nectary register? If so, where in buydebug can I find it? Or is it a community object?

I think it's a community lot object. Should be found under misc.

If I were you, I'd use hipped on the most of the roof, and then put in the diagonal pieces on the edges. Should I illustrate?

Okay, I'll boot up the sims and I'll have it to you in a couple of hours, hopefully.
