First off; there is never a stupid question. The ones that don't ask questions, are the ones that are going to have a tough time.

 

Is this your first time attempting to model in VIZ? VIZ is a program where you are not going to pick it up right away. I've been using VIZ for years now and I'm still learning new things every day. Have you attempted any of the tutorials that came with VIZ, or any of them online? You can learn a lot from them.

 

If you have and still need help; you should be more specific with what you are actually trying to achieve.

 

Do you have any attempts, or screen shots that you could share with us? Or maybe an image that you have for inspiration?

[hcjgh]

yes and i am really new at this things as you can see!

 

Ok i attached an image where you can see that i created walls but i dont have a clue how to create a floor! understand?!?

 

if you have any good tutorials please give link becouse i looked over the internet but i didnt found any good!

 

thanks for help!!!

There are a couple of different ways I'd approach this:

 

1. If you still have the spline that was used to define the walls you could use that in a number of ways depending if your floor will be the same material everywhere. If the material is the same everywhere, you can either trace the outer spline that defines your walls and either extrude with a 0 thickness, or convert it to an epoly or emesh. If you need seperate textures for each room I'd either use the splines that you have and use the technique above, or just trace the inside walls of each room.

 

2. If you don't have any splines you can also use the Splines -> Section tool to create them from your walls.

 

Hope that gives you a start.

Yes thanks its a start but still i couldn set the thickness of the floor to 10cm!

can u please tell me where i could set this up!?!

Just apply an extrude modifier to your floor spline. You may also have to apply a cap holes modifier as well depending upon how you do this.

Hey you wont believe it but i made it!

 

But once this problem is solved there is another one!! One i really wanted to solve on my own but i dont know enought about this program! How do you create an roof?!? So i figured it out how to create the whole house but the roof?!

 

Special thanks to Jeff Mottle for helping me!! I owe you one:)

[Jeff Mottle]

Can you post some pictures of the roof. This could be really easy or a challenge.

[hcjgh]

Hmm! I dont understand you! I try to create an house so so far i created walls, doors, windows.... But i got stuck at the roof! I dont have any pics becouse i dont know how to ake a roof or what kind of pics do u need?!?

I'd suggest you get stuck into any modelling tutorials you can find, particularly those focused on Editable Poly objects. Look at Max tutes as well as Viz tutes; Viz 2005's editable poly objects are equivalent to 3ds Max 6's (not sure about 2006). I'd suggest "box modelling" would be a useful key word when you're looking up tutes. It might help to broaden your searches beyond "modelling roofs" if you have no luck with that specific subject; lots of other modelling tasks involve similar forms to hip roofs.

 

--Edit--

By pictures of your roof I think Jeff means any sketches/orthographic drawings or existing examples of what you're trying to model.
