HumbleChief Posted February 13, 2025 Share Posted February 13, 2025 Seems pretty straight forward 1. Cut hole in the floor (since it's not technically a roof plane); 2. Grab skylight from the library and voila? Hole's no problem but can't for the life of me find a 'skylight' in the library. Is there another/better technique?

scottharris Posted February 13, 2025 Share Posted February 13, 2025 Larry, if you cannot find the specific shaped skylight in the chief library (search 'skylights'), you can make your own (3D solids, then convert to symbol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoryStorm Posted February 14, 2025 Share Posted February 14, 2025 I've added skylights to projects but not from the Library. The skylights I used were located by clicking the Roof Palette. Then you have control over the material for frame, glass, and shaft. You can also dial in the exact dimensions you need as well as select from square or plumb sides.

Gawdzira Posted February 14, 2025 Share Posted February 14, 2025 Make a flat roof (new file) and place a skylight the size that you want. Then save it out as a symbol for import as an object for your usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
