Metric Tutorials - Autodesk

This tool allows you to sketch an arc line using three points. The first two points define the ends
of the line, and the third point defines the arc.
41 Select the top of the left column, the top of the next column on the right, and then adjust the
dip of the arc until it is 60 degrees. You can adjust the degrees by clicking the blue temporary
dimension value immediately after you create the line.
42 Repeat the previous step and create two more arcs between the columns.
NOTE As you sketch the arcs, try to get the angle value as close to 60 degrees as possible, then you
can modify it through the dimension. Do not be too concerned if your sketch lines do not exactly
connect. You will fix this in a later step.
43 On the Design Bar, click Properties.
44 In the Element Properties dialog, specify the following:
■ Select Sunscreen Fabric for Type.
■ Under Constraints, enter 300 mm for Extrusion Start.
■ Under Constraints, enter 5800 mm for Extrusion End.
45 Click OK.
The roof sketch must be a continuous line. You must make sure the arcs are connected where
they connect to the columns. The easiest way to accomplish this is to use the Trim tool.
46 On the Tools menu, click Trim/Extend.
47 Select the left arc and then the center arc. Select the right arc, then the center arc.
The arcs should connect.
48 On the Design Bar, click Finish Sketch.
49 On the View toolbar, click .
