House Exercise

          Before, I always have this in mind that I could not make a house. But I was wrong! Everything start from simple things. I started my house with just a box and used Connect tool to add edges. These edges will be my guide to add a door and windows. Furthermore, as simple as extruding a polygon, I was able to make my door (Figure 1).

          I thought, everything is okay until I saw the odd looking roof on the left hand side of the roof (Figure 1 - uppper-left image). This gave me a hint that there is something wrong with my vertices. Therefore, I moved the vertices to balance it with the other side. In making the chimney, at first I thought of using the Boolean tool but I ended up using the Extrude tool with negative value (Figure 1). It was okay and it saved my time. If I used the Boolean tool, I still need  to make another object as a guide. But with the Extrude tool, I just change its value. Maybe in some cases like this, it is fine to use it. So it is still depends on what you wanted to do.

          In addition to my problem, I found out that there are unwanted edges on the wall as shown in Figure 3. This is, maybe, because I moved some vertices and the result of so many trial and error process using the Connect tool. I managed to make my wall neat by removing the edges.

          This is my house (Figure 4), the house that I thought I couldn't make.
