Modeling 9 Different Types of Roofs in SketchUp - SketchUp Quick Tutorials

what's up guys Justin here with the sketch of essentials compacts another Sketchup quick tutorial for you so in this video I thought I'd quickly walk you through just a couple creating a couple different kinds of roofs in Sketchup so let's go ahead and just jump into it alright so the first kind of roof I want to talk about it's probably the simplest it's the open gable and that's just basically a roof with kind of a slope on top of it that has a little bit of an overhang so that that one's going to be really simple you're just going to you're going to start off and you're going to extrude your building up just like a rectangle and then you're just going to draw your front face on this building so in this case I'm just going to draw a face like this using the line tool I'm going to erase this out I'm going to push pull that all the way to the back so that kind of fills this in and then eventually I'm going to erase this line but the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to use the offset tool to offset this out to create kind of my roof overhang piece so now what I can do is I can come in here and I can erase out this extra piece and this one as well and then we're just going to push pull this one forward and then we'll push pull the other side back so that it overhangs on the back just like this then you can just come in here and you can just erase out the extra so really simple roof the next one we're going to talk about is a box gable and that one's going to be a little more complicated because basically what happens with the Box gable is your your roof gets a little taller than the rest of your building like it hangs out all the way around so what we're going to do on that one is we're just going to use the offset tool to offset the top face of our building and then once we do that we'll do the same thing that we did with our regular open gable we'll just draw our face up I'm going to race out this extra I'm going to go ahead and reverse this face and we'll do the same thing where we use the offset tool to get this to overhang and the only difference on this one is you're going to want to either draw a line straight down or a continuation right here because otherwise of your race this bottom line your face is going to go away so you're just going to have to kind of finish that off a little bit then once you do that you can come in here and oh I forgot you're going to want to push pull this backwards and you see how when I push pull this right now what it's doing isit's push pulling the face back instead of kind of extruding it all the way along right here all you're going to do is you're going to hit the ctrl key first to toggle start new face mode so that way it's going to start a new face and push it all the way back and then I'm going to reverse this face and then we'll do the same thing will just push pull this one forward and we'll push pull this all the way back so that it overhangs on the backside as well so now you've got this box cable whoops where the entire roof kind of overhangs the the footprint of your floorplan so the next roof I'm going to talk about is a hip roof and a hip roof is more of a roof or everything kind of it slopes up and back so there's kind of a smaller roof line on the top here and all you're going to do to do that is you're just going to come in here and you're just going to draw a line up and you're going to draw a line out to wherever you want this to kind of overhang and then you're just going to fill this end so that you have a face in here all you have to do is click once on this face and then select the follow me tool and click on this triangle that you created and that's going to extrude this all the way around this all the way around the perimeter of this so that it's got your hip roof in here and you can see how that a when it does that it kind of erased out this face in here all you need to do is just draw that back in with the rectangle tool but you can see how now you've got your hip roof in here just by using the follow me tool so the next thing we're going to talk about is creating a hip and Valley roof and so a hip and Valley roof is going to be a roof that basically when a building turns a corner it's going to need some valleys around this corner where the roof kind of comes together so what we're going to do to do this is we're going to do the same thing first of all this works best if these wings are the same width but we'll kind of go through what we can do if they're not too but all you're going to do is you're going to do the same thing where we're going to use the follow me tool so we're going to draw this out so we'll draw our two lines to figure out how tall we want our roof to be we're going to click on this face then we're going to activate the follow me tool in order to use the follow me tool to extrude this all the way around this corner so and like I said that works great when these are the same width but if they're not the same width like for example if I come over here we'll go ahead and extrude this one so that one's nice and clean so if we come back in here and we decide that our back face over here is going to be wider than or if our back side of our house is going to be wider than the front side of our house over here then probably what we're going to do is we're going to want to find the widest part of our roof and start there so we'll draw this out like this you're going to select this top face and you're going to activate the follow me tool and click on this and you can see how what that does what that's doing here is that's coming in here and that's that's basically running this all the way around but you can see how you get this kind of overlap so what you're going to want to do with your overlap is you're going to want to select your model you're going to right-click and you're going to click intersect faces with model and then you're just once you see how once you intersect with your faces with model these extra lines start showing up that means all these faces got intersected in here so now whoops you can come in here and you can erase out all this extra stuff so you can see how I can just come in here and I can just erase out all this extra using the erase tool so I'm coming in here I'm using the erase tool I'm erasing all this out and you see how your your roof hip kind of gets a little funky in here you may have to come in here and do some up cleanup of that depending on you know how this is going to come in here and like this might come in here a little bit differently if like let's say your building looked a little bit more like this then same thing you'd select this you use the follow me tool and you do that well now you can do the same thing intersect faces with model come in here and erase out all your extra you just have to be a little careful what you come in here near erase out so that's pretty good you're getting some weird intersections in here with the way this intersects and part of that just has to do with the way that these floor plans are the way that these wings kind of work because I think they're all kind of a little bit different thicknesses and that sort of thing but this gives you the general idea and you can kind of work with it from there so a gambrel roof is basically a roof that has framing that goes up and over so it gets you more height so what you do for that one is you come in here and probably what I would do actually is I go ahead and draw a face and then draw the angle for my gambrel roof on this space kind of like this alright so for the gambrel once you've drawn kind of half of this probably the easiest thing to do is going to be to select it and use the Move tool to make a copy of it so click once on it tap the M key to activate the move key click on this corner and you see how if I click on this corner and move it around it's actually deforming my box unless I tap the ctrl key you see how as soon as I tap the ctrl key this created a copy then I'm just going to use the scale tool to flip this in place and move it back then I'm going to erase this extra line and then you're just going to do the same thing you did before with the normal gable roof you're going to push pull that back and then you're going to use the offset tool to offset it out a little bit and you can erase out all your extra lines then we'll just use the push/pull to extrude this so that now you've got your roof a mansard roof is interesting and that it kind of slopes up and then it changes slopes on the top so in order to do this first of all it's wider than our roof so we're going to start off kind of like we did with the we're going to start off kind of like we did with the Box gable so we're going to use the offset tool to offset a piece of this we're going to push pull it up and you can see how what this is doing initially first of all is it's a since this is just kind of a shell it's kind of a or since we were pushed pulling this face there's nothing in the center of it so we're going to start off we're going to push pull it up just a bit and then we're going to draw a rectangle in there and we're going to erase it out so we have a solid roof so now what we're going to do is we're going to start off and we're going to draw this up a little bit then we're going to select this top face by double-clicking on it you're going to activate the scale tool and then hold the ctrl key and click and drag this little point in alright so what we're going to do on this one is we're going to do the same thing we did before we're just going to draw a line straight up in this case we're going to draw a line straight to this corner we're going to click on this face we're gonna activate the follow me tool and you can see how what that did is that came in here and that extruded our top piece and we can adjust this by selecting this line moving it up or down and locking to the blue axis so you can see how I can make that taller or shorter by moving that line around so to do something a little bit different we're going to draw a hex hexagonal gazebo roof and so what you're going to do to do that is you're actually going to draw a six-sided circle so you're going to activate the circle tool you're going to hit the enter key to tell Sketchup you want to draw a six-sided circle so you're going to draw this in here you're going to push pull it up so and you can see by default that's actually putting these sides in here with hidden geometry and hidden lines you can either we're just going to leave that for right now you can make those non hidden if you want - by selecting them and coming up here and unsoftened them but that probably doesn't affect what we're doing right now we're just going to do the same thing this isn't really that different than what we've done before so we're just going to draw the same kind of triangle so we're just going to draw a little bit over to overhang we're going to draw the triangle we're going to activate this top face and we're going to use the follow me tool to extrude this in a circle and you can see how since this is a hexagonal building basically all this does it extrudes it along each one of these lines so you get six faces by doing that so and you can come in here and you can aerate or reverse all those faces so the correct face is facing outward so in the last one I wanted to talk about as a Dutch gable so the Dutch gable you're going to create a kind of same way you did the mansard in this case most of these at this point are kind of a combination of what we've done before so for this one you're going to push-pull this face you're going to use the offset tool to offset this out you're going to push-pull this space up you're going to push it up until you get it to the height that you want you're going to do the same thing you did before where you activate the scale tool and kind of scale this in and then now you're going to do the same thing that you've done for the open gable or we're just going to draw this up erase this out you so for this one this one's a little bit different in that we're actually going to push pull it in instead of out so we're going to push-pull this or we're going to use the offset tool to offset this in and then we're going to push pull that so in order to do that we're just going to use the offset tool and offset this in and then we're going to draw a continuation of these lines and you can just use that you can use that that a pink inferencing line in order to make sure you're drawing that as an extension this line we're just going to draw this in here and then all we're going to do is we're going to push pull this piece back out you can see how it's doing that thing again where it's taking that face and you can see how it's doing that that thing where it takes that face and makes it Hollow and if you remember all you got to do is tap the ctrl key to toggle that create new face mode and then click on this back face so you can see how what does that gives you your sloping up and then your your gable roof on top of that and probably what you can do to make this look a little bit better just push pull this back a little bit on each side and you can see on the back side this is hollow that's okay you just erase that out then push pull it back just a little bit so now you've got that kind of Dutch gable shape so leave a comment below let me know what you thought did you like this video did I leave off a roof type that you would like
