Pyramidal roof

I'm sorry, I'm not able to understand the steps when you are using floors. I can't choose "Copy as new furniture" with a floor.

To use CopyAsNewFurniture, you first have to install the plug-in. Read this PDF.

download CopyAsNewFurniturePlugin-1.1.sh3p:Here
Room cannot CopyAsNewFurniture alone, it must be “wall size 0.1x0.1x0.1 +room” together you can CopyAsNewFurniture.

see:Here or Here

Actually, I got it working and now have my first roof section, by exporting each floor directly as an object, and then importing the two floors (one for white interior finish and one with tiles for exterior, and then exporting those as an object.

CopyAsNewFurniture wasn't even needed (although I do have it installed).

ok,You are smarter than me.

Well, I'm not fully done with the roof yet.

Now I am. It's not pretty by any means, but it fulfills the purpose, which is letting me understand the space, and visualize how large the rooms will be, etc.

It was a crazy amount of work, but very helpful.

Maybe you could have tested Art of Illusion. It's not too difficult to learn, and will let you create and cut shapes more easily with boolean operations.

I'll try it next time.

I am also looking for a Pyramid roof model - one that includes the detail on the interior. I found a really nice one online and paid for the file but I cannot get it to open in Sweethome3D. Is this something that someone in this forum can fix? The author of the file is not offering to do it, or may not know how. I have emailed her. Here is a link to the model:
