Chapter 13
Adding the Roof to Stop the Rain
IN THIS CHAPTER
Positioning your skyscraper correctly
Ensuring correct alignment of the skyscraper roof
Adding a curved edge to your roof to allow rain to run off
In Chapter 12, you develop your skyscraper and add more floors to it. There is no such thing as a one-story skyscraper.
In this chapter, you develop the roof of your skyscraper and add a curved edge to allow for rain runoff.
Picking the Right Shape for Your Roof
If you watch movies, a lot (and I mean a lot) of tall buildings have a roof on them that doubles as a helipad. The roof for your skyscraper will double as a helipad, but it will be even cooler: It will have a curved edge that allows the rain to run off of it, too!
The following steps guide you through adding a helipad to your skyscraper. You find out how to add a shape that represents the helipad and also see how to add a curved edge to a shape in Tinkercad.
