Re: Skylight challenge
Michael,
Several possibilities...
1 - Horizontal Use Furniture --> Import furniture to add the window of your choice. During import rotate it with the arrows. You then have to build the surrounding area with blocks, roof parts, etc.
2 - Horizontal Draw a wall, insert a window. Use the plug-in CopyAsNewFurniture to copy this ensemble. Open a new instance of SH3D, copy-paste the copied model, then use 3D view --> Export to OBJ format to export it. Re-import it and rotate to horizontal during import.
3 - Diagonal As method 2, but with an extra step. After exporting as an OBJ, use Art of Illusion, Misfit 3D or Blender to rotate your object to the desired angle. Then import as above.
4 - Diagonal Import a window, and during import rotate it 90 degrees, so that it ends up lying on its side. Draw two walls at a 90 degree angle. Insert your window. CopyAsNewFurniture, then export as OBJ. Import the angled walls with window, and during import rotate in such a way that the two walls form a traditional roof.
I might come up with another way.... You too, just use your imagination and keep experimenting!!
