Windows in a inclined roof

[no2]

Hello,

First of all, sorry for my very bad English, and I want to thank for this interesting and friendly software

I am trying to design my attic to do some changes. I designed two rooms, a bath and a open space, but I have two questions:

1. I can not see the roof in the 3D view.
2. I do not know how to put 4 windows in the inclined roof (one for every room and two in the open space

I attach a file for better comprehension

no2,

You may want to read the tutorial about roofs (PDF). It shows a solution.
Of course you can also insert a window in the roof parts before you export and import them. Then the window lies flush in the roof.

If you have more questions, please ask.

The ceiling isn't visible from top by design (otherwise you wouldn't be able to see your layout from top).
Inclined windows are not really supported: since version 3.4, you can choose the angle you want when you import a 3D model, but then holes in the ceiling won't be computed automatically.

Please, read also this document for nice workarounds found by hansmex.

Thanks for your quick answer. I try to design all the elements and I leave the ceiling to the end. I will wait to this new version

Again, many thanks for this friendly software

no2,

Attached you will find two files:
- your house with roof and windows
- the roof with windows, before using export/import (see tutorial).

To make such a roof, and make sure it fits nicely on the house, it's wise to give your walls exact X,Y coordinates. Mouse-drawn coordinates are not very precise, and therefor it will be difficult to make a roof that fits well.

Study the files, and let me know if this is what you wanted.

UAUuuuuuuuuuuu! [=P~]
I am absolutely surprised [:O]

Sure, that I could not be able to obtain this design. I am taking exact measures to have a realistic design. I will change it on your excellent file.

I want to thank again for your help
I will upload the file when finished
Best regards
