My customer wants a greenhouse similar to the one attached.
Any ideas on how to create this in Softplan.
My customer lives for the 3D's

Not to change the subject but we have a greenhouse in the backyard and its very addicting. This time of year you go out every morning and check to see if theres any new growth yet. The smell of the dirt all of it is very relaxing. Veggies, flowers, hanging baskets.

daniel,
the "oils" are legal in california and many states.
in fact the oils might be legal in "ALL" the states.
the oils can do nice things to our health and ailments.
to name a couple, PAIN !, seizures and much more.

We have lots of grow lights. Heat mats, shelving, fans, stainless steel work table, running water. Now she wants a new green house a real one 24x32. You can buy them fairly cheap on line. Then the work starts... Randy I hear you loud and clear... Lets get it legal.

Steve,
To get back to your original question, it is possible to achieve a reasonable representation of the greenhouse by modifying a brick/siding wall type and playing with the materials and textures for the studs, rafters and roof.
See the attached image as a rough example of what can be done. I didn't spend a lot of time on it and acknowledge that it could be tweaked further before showing a client, but I think you can see that it is possible to do.

As Brent says, it's just a matter of playing with fascia depths, rafter depths, material defaults for opening, wall types, etc..
I turned of the roof sheathing, and told the roof materials to look like glass...
Trying to make custom stuff like this is a GREAT way to learn what softplan can do, tweaking the defaults..

Brent-are the walls built with the glass as part of the definition (like a shower wall) or are they separate window added?
Thanks Tom for the roof description, never done a greenhouse but it looks great

I inserted the glass material into the wall definition where the sheathing would be but it could also be done using windows if the frames should protrude beyond the glass surface.
I also applied the glass texture to the roofing material and turned off the sheathing as Tom did.

Can you give me a little more info on how you did this? I have a customer wanting exactly this placed on a second floor balcony.

FOR ROOF:
place the roof as you normally would..
edit the pitch, fascia depths, overhangs, heel heights, etc... to better match the look you want..
edit the roof type to, say, "standing seam"... then on the 3D model, edit the standing seam material to look like glass (adjust color, brightness, transparency, reflection, etc..)...
be sure to turn the roof sheathing OFF... you don't want to see that beneath your glass roof...
also on the 3D model, edit the fascia and other materials to the colors you like (white in my example)..
add a roof rafter or two or three as needed.. edit their size and locations as desired... in the 3D model, edit the rafter material to be what-ever color you desire (white in my example).. since the roof is glass, you'll see the rafters through the glass..
WALLS / WINDOWS:
use any wall you like, or create a custom one... likely the thinner the wall he better... I think I used a custom wall that was 2" thick.. the wall really doesn't matter so much as you're going to pack it full of windows and doors..
I went to DRAWING OPTIONS / MATERIAL DIMENSIONS / OPENING OPTIONS and changed many of the window default settings, for frame width, bead thickness, etc..... this is your option.. to get the look you desire
place windows and doors ... move and adjust windows and doors to get desired look... Use the "trapazoid" window to easily create the rake-top lights...
EDIT: you likely need to turn OFF all exterior and interior trims... usually interior trim is turned ON as a Default.. so you may need to un-check that for the windows and doors..
OTHER:
HORIZ. BAND: I likely used BANDING tool for the horiz. trim / band..
STONE BASE: for the stone water-table, I likely used INTERIOR MODE / BASEBOARD .. to draw a "square" baseboard, and edited the baseboArd to be appropriate height and thickness.. I often use the INTERIOR MODE tools to model exterior elements... you could also use solids, or another band, or another wall, or other tools to get the base...
