Example 5

 

This will give you an introduction to building with two modules or tools, the Cube and the Pyramid. So let's start making our villa!

The Cube will be used to make the base section of our villa and the Pyramid will be placed on top to make the roof.

The Villa

As in Example 04 we start by setting the house base dimensions and height.
Next we select the textures for each side of the building.

The external top side, or roof, is not drawn since this side is not visible. We shall be placing a pyramid as the roof of the house.

Always avoid drawing non visible sides with any tool. This is a very important issue.

The roof is made using the Pyramid and I choose type 3 to make it.
The base surface of the Pyramid will be the same as the base surface of the cube, that is 20x14 meters.
The height of the Pyramid is set to 3 meters.
The top length of the Pyramid will be the same as the base length so the sides walls will be vertical.
Finally, since this module goes on top of the cube, the pyramid is raised 7 meters.
Texturing of each side of the pyramid is performed the same way as in the cube. This shows a detail of the external left side.
