How to insert a roof window? Hi, I've been using SW for some time now, and still think it's even better than some expensive softwares... It can do almost anything one might think of ;) I'm only out of my depth when it comes to roof windows... Does anyone knows how to explain SW that a window is to be put on a non-vertical wall (roof), or that an object that is not a window should pierce the wall? Hmmm?  |

Re: How to insert a roof window? Until now, a wall can be only vertical and Sweet Home 3D doesn't know anything about roofs (even if it can handle ceilings). So, only workarounds are possible. One could be to transform a wall with a window as a roof part with a window: - draw a wall at the same size as the roof part you want - place a window in the wall (for example the fixed window) - eventually change the textures of the wall - select the wall and the window(s) - choose 3D view > Export to OBJ format menu item to save the selection in an OBJ file - import the exported OBJ file, and rotate it if needed at the second step of the furniture import wizard. Hope you can handle it  ---------------------------------------- Emmanuel Puybaret, Sweet Home 3D creator |

I have used this wounderful program for one month now and I think I have found an other simple workaround for the roof-problem: I only use triangle - windows with the special width of the roof and the breakwall texture and that's the results:     Sorry for my english, but my nativ language is german.
