EconBlueprints Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I have a design that calls for a glass roof panels. It will be a shed roof. The library has some options for solar rooms, but none for a roof that I saw. How do I create such a beast? Thanks, Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 You also need to share how this roof is to be held up structurally (I doubt that the roof will be sheets of glass only). Share a photo of something similar or draw a sketch of how this "beast" is to look please. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EconBlueprints Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 I do not know what the structure will be. There will be a note on the plan saying to the effect "Roof panel design by others". What I would like to show is a steel frame, probably a C Channel with glass panels overlay. But, I did a conventional roof with skylights, that gives the look I needed.

BrownTiger Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 My college every single auditorium in the lecture hall had it, and that was built like 40 years ago. While most could not tell it was a steel structure with a parapet roof, with drain channels on outside and in the middle so it could be cleaned safely without a crane. Amazing structure, very thick rubber inserted into the C channels. They had to install sound dampening shutters, because you could not hear a word prof was saying during a rain.
