Adding Corners
5.8
Now that we have added rakes to our basic venue, you will notice that there are gaps
left open at the corners. We will need to create rotated surfaces to cover these areas.
1. Start by cloning the North Rake because it has similar dimensions to what we
need for the corners. Remember that we only need to actually position one
corner because we can clone it to the other side when we have the first one
positioned correctly.
Clone the North Rake to mirror the X-Axis. You will not be able to see the new
surface because it will completely overlay on the old surface. The best thing to
do is as soon as the surface has been created is to head to the Properties to
change the name of the surface to differentiate between the two. We have
called this corner West Corner.
2. Now again, let’s work through the Properties pane from bottom to top to place
the West Corner.
 Rotation Angle - set to 45 degrees to cut the angle between the West Rake
and the North Rake.
 Inclination Angle - let’s increase this to 28 degrees for a steeper incline up
the corner seating.
 Width - leave at 100’
 Length - shorten to 55’
 X, Y, Z - since the origin is from the front center of the surface, we know we
want that right at the northwest corner point of the Main surface. Since that
surface is 200’ long in the x-axis, 200’ is our X start. The Main surface is 100’
wide in the y-axis split across the x-axis, so our Y start is 50’. Z should stay at
5.5’
