Hi there,

Draw the wall selecting the shape => if the wall is under the red line in your picture, use the shapes "Shed" or "Shed Reversed" (3rd and 4th shapes in the walls' menu) => set the height and pitch as necessary.

Punch, as any program, has a learning curve. The best way to learn the program, IMO, is practice + practice + practice => Read and follow the manual (this is important), see the videos => try to create elements not related with your project, so you will become familiar with the commands and how to manage the different components and effects .

If you are interested, my eBook for the V21 programs includes several tutorials about this subject.

The red line represent the wall that I want to build (shape like a polygon). This wall is to fit between two cathedral roofs that have a different hight. The top and bottom have each a specific pitch and the right side and the left side have their own hights but at different elevations!

I hope that it is more clear!

Thak you!

Hi there,

Two options:

1 - You can stack two dormer walls and set the heights and pitches
2 - You can create a wall object using the 3D Custom Workshop Power Tool => texture as desired.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for that.

But I can not do what I want to do with dormer walls.

Can we make a vertical flip with a dormer wall?

No, you can't. But you can flip the walls horizontally and stack them.

Anyway, the easiest way is developing the shape with the 3D Custom Workshop Power Tool.

Hope this helps.
