I am making a box for a small solar collector for my weather station.
I have the box done.
I was going to make a conservative utilitarian cover - BUT - WHY?
So I decided to make a fancy roof cover.
I am having a bit of trouble.
I got the shape I want - but there is a protrusion on the top that I do not want.
See attached file

I have not finished this - so if there is feed and speed of other dumb stuff I will get that.
I just need help on the protrusion.

Something like this? Make the inside rectangle really, really, really small. I used .0001 for the width.

Nah! Just a 2-rail sweep. You'll have to zoom in really close to see the inside rectangle.

Re: Protrusion issue on roof
Steve,
There is something a bit off about your model. It comes to a peak whereas all four corners meet in the middle. Like as if you created a SQUARE - then resized it.
What I am trying to get is the front and back to be longer than the sides. In that, there would be a straight line on the top of the roof. If I sand off the protrusion - that is what I would get.
So - your design IS really close.

I really didn't understand what you wanted. I'll have to work on it later. I have a dentist appointment in a couple of hours.

If you make the inside rectangle long (1.75" x .005") then you'll get the shape you want.
