Sloped roof help

[Ansgar Odinson]

When making a sloped or pointed roof, how do you fill in the triangular gaps in the wall at the top? For the life of me, I cant get anything to work.

you cant for now, slanted roof isnt rly in the game. its a ramp.

You don't.

It either wasn't deemed important enough at this point to actually address, or was deemed not important enough to bother with in the first place. We are, after all, here on a search and rescue mission, not an advanced construction party for a beachfront condominium developer.

We're also not building on an airless world or below the surface of the water, so we don't need hermetically-sealed structures to keep the air inside. This also isn't Wuhan, and we're not constructing virology labs either, so no need to trap the air inside.

You'll still get the same protection from the elements with gaping holes along the roofline as would from a completely sealed roof. It's just a cosmetic issue, nothing more.

There's a video on YouTube Showing how to do a Gable end of a roof. I don't remember his name.

Ok, that makes sense. It is still very early access.

I too rly wanna fill those triangles so I know the feeling hehehehehe

[RainmakerLTU]

Cut log in smaller pieces and use them to fill. But they do not fill nicely, some rough edges pop out anyway.
You gotta get to the same height with triangle, for arrow where to put the log, appear.

You've gotta experiment is what you've got to do. There are ways to avoid ending up with the triangle gap altogether.

Half log on the outside support, 3/4 log on the inside support then either full logs or 3/4 logs to fill the middle gaps. There will still be a small crevice in the top left of the example I gave in the images but its better than a full half triangle gap.

In one of Farket's videos he puts down a 3/4 then 1/2 then 1/4 log to make a gable.

A gable that only covers one square wide, nobody builds a house that's one square wide. People are building 3x3 at least and with that it's not doable.
