rgardner Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Yeah sorry I can’t tell what is what in that picture. A typical sun room can be done with normal roofs and adjusting the roof material or a glass roof material with skylights depending on what the exact look/type you are going for.

dskogg Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 It’s kind of a aluminum curtain frame that goes up and slopes up roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont necessarily need skylights, just set your structure and soffits to the correct assembly according to your needs. This is done with only roof planes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your roof needs to not have any overhang and have glass walls to the outside just like it would be built in person. If you are trying to show more of a screened room with panel sections as you showed use skylights. But the polyline convert to skylight tool will help you get non rectangular and custom sizes.

Your simply modifying your Roof Surface Layers according to your spec and turning off Soffits and Room Ceiling Finish. Then specify your Structure according to what you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a straight glass enclosure room I would use roof planes as well assuming the panels are going to be the same. In these they will have some cross members on the roofs as well. Doing it with the polyline convert to skylight allows you to place them exactly as that is done. You can still do it with the roof panels and framing but you will need to do manual framing to show cross members as they are not in the same location so as you use purlins.

dskogg Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 This is what I ended up with, I have this pub/office building, I am adding another story to it, i just needed to get asbuilt close to show client and investors the before and after. The glazed roof is all wonky, I will have to do more detailed measurements next time i get to site.. I made roof 1" thick glass, use roof planes to drop in roof beams under and then copied and pasted roof beams above to represent glass frames...kind of crude but I think it will work for now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
