Hi! I'm trying Wings for level design/grey boxing at the moment (really enjoying it so far). I want to make lots of little houses. While their geometry can be pretty simple overall I'd like to get some accurate roof overhangs -- no problem with very simple houses but a little harder to do for L-shaped ones.
My current workflow is to
-make the simple house form with gable
- (shell)extrude the roof along normals - here is where it gets wonky because of the normals, see picture
- normally I would now just extrude the small sides of the roof all at once to get the overhang but the result turns out crooked because of the uneven first extrusion...
So instead I use an intersect with a temporary plane along each sloping edge of the roof, one by one.
End result:
The workflow is not so terrible and the end result is good. But it is just a little tedious to repeat. Is there a better, faster way to achieve it? I'm quite new to Wings so there might be something simple that I'm missing.
Thank you!
