Another 3D question

[AJ Allen]

Sorry to ask a question yet again.

So, working on my clubhouse (which is in place, textures and mappings applied) and I decided I would like to create an air conditioner on the roof. But, if I try to add verts on the roof using overhead view, those verts get placed on the ground, directly below where I want them.

Thinking maybe I need to create the A/C unit on the ground, then lift it up into place when I'm finished? Can't think of any other way to do it. Would that be correct, anyone know?

Cheers, AJ

You can add it directly to the existing face of the roof, but you can't do it by using the "Create a Face" tool. You have to tap in to an existing edge and form it that way. Any time you elect to "Create a Face", it starts out at the 100 foot grid level like a new face would and it won't be attached to anything. If you want it attached to the roof, you need to split an edge on the roof face and start adding to that.

Hope that answers your question,

yes, that helps thank you. So it's basically the same as putting in a door or window, excet it's on the roof. I was trying to add verts when I should have been splitting edges.
TY. Cheers, AJ
