I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of how to build a standard flat roof with a parapet at the permitter? I figured out how to do it with a slab but that doesn't allow me to add skylights to it. Is there a better way to do it using the roof tool and if so are there any instructional videos/tutorials that cover it? Thanks so much!</DIV> Tue, 19 Mar 2024 10:43:51 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/How-to-draw-a-basic-flat-roof-with-a-parapet/m-p/224630#M170996 Anonymous 2024-03-19T10:43:51Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/How-to-draw-a-basic-flat-roof-with-a-parapet/m-p/224631#M170997 Use the roof tool - even a "flat" roof will have some slope.<BR /> Change the geometry method to 'Single plane' rather than 'Multi-plane'.<BR /> The use the 'Rectangular' construction (unless it is not a rectangular shape).<BR /> The parapet is just a wall.<BR /> <BR /> As for a video specifically for this situation I don't think you will have much luck unless someone wants to make one for you.<BR /> But in the HELP menu you will see a link to the Archicad YouTube channel.<BR /> In there you should find videos for the roof tool - although most will be for the multi-plan roof.<BR /> <BR /> Barry.
