Roof Ridge Skylight

[Emilios8]

Hello Gang;

I have a project that I'm trying to create a roof ridge skylight but to no avail, the closest I came was to build a ridge mounted skylight in SketchUp and then import the model, but of course it doesn't create a hole in the roof or the ceiling, it just sits there. Has anyone had an opportunity to try to build this sort of Skylight in Chief? Is there a way around it without having to do the ole' SketchUp trick? Is there a way to customize a skylight in Chief to achieve this type of result? Please let me know, I've been racking my brain for days.

Best to ask in q+ A as mentioned ....

 

but with a bit of Material etc reconfiguring you can use Roof Planes to simulate a Skylight  along with some polyline Solids drawn in elevation

to fill the Holes in the other Roof plans and make the "curb" of a normal Skylight.

  Normal Skylights can be push "almost" together at the Ridge as well (1/16th gap)
