You need to highlight the roof plane that you want to put

a hole in and then click on the Polyline Subtraction icon.

Can't seem to find the plan, not sure if I saved it, but here

is the process I used.

Thanks for the guide!

but when I tried to remake this, the skyroof worked, but i had some problems with the walls on the next level.

and the indoor wals didn't seem to behave correctly

- see the checker wall still having some plasterboard on the right

- they drop about 20 cm below the ceiling

I've included the roofplane setup and the settings of the room below.

you can download the .plan here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2-ArxcNDzdQb19id1JMSnYzN1E/view?usp=sharing

I tried doing it, but I couldn't figure out on how to cut the roof, 

I drawed a polyline box, and clicked on subtstract, but then I need to do what?

and on what floor do I have to do this? 1 or 2?

Or can you upload the plan u use in your screenshots?

Well thank you!

going to test this out tonight.

But that looks like the thing I need!

Looks a lot like the thing I want thanks!!

gonna check on how to do this when I get home

now just an small additional question:

for  a flat roof the borders are a bit raised (around 20cm), how would you do this?

Hi,
 
I recently bough a townhouse, and I'm trying to draw the house in chief architect the house before I select everything (colors, furniture, ..)
 
But I'm  having trouble on some part of my house,

it's the extended part that has a flat roof (I don't know how to do this either).
This part has a small raised piece that is surrounded with glass, with some support beams on the corners

I've included 2 attachments of similar setups,

but the idea would be that the top of my glass 'box' would be the same as a normal flat roof (that black material I can't find the name right now)

I've included an attachment on how I see this;

• The top drawing is a side view,
• the middle drawing is a top view
• and the bottom drawing is a sort of 3D-ish drawing of the house and extended part.

This is the current plan of the house (without the elevating in the roof, of that I don't have any plans yet)

I'm currently using Chief Architect X8

Could anyone make something that has this included? so I can continue to design the house in that file.
 - and / or - 

Give me some instruction (or a tutorial) on how to do this?

Already thanks in advance for reading this!

Greetings Glenn
