Re: Wie kriegt man Schrägdachfensgter hin?
Tom,

Read that manual again... almost all the info is in it. Let me explain in shorthand:
1 - draw two walls at a 90 degree angle in the form of an A
2 - insert a window in one of the walls
3 - CopyAsNewFurniture
4 - Export as OBJ
5 - Import and rotate

Voila, a roof with a window. To make it perfect you have to prepare your window:
a - insert the desired window in an empty design
b - Export as OBJ
c - Import and rotate (so that it will fit correctly in the roof, once the roof is rotated to its final orientation)
d - use this window in step 2

Note: the Velux windows in the Sketchup Warehouse often are rotated 45 degrees (or so). That may make it difficult to insert them in a wall/roof. Use any ordinary window and give it the correct Velux-size.

PS: If you want your V-server question answered, ask it again in the English forum. I'm not sure Emmanuel will answer it when in German.
