Is it possible to add skylight to a concrete slab for example on basements to bring in natural light?

if so how do one do so, i only found that skylights can only be used on roofs and not on slabs am i wrong please assist

Operating system used: Windows

There is kind of a workaround:

Set the use of your slab composite available for roofs or leave it simple if you only need concrete.
Create a roof with no slope (or the slope you need).
Add the skylight.
Classify that roof as a slab.
Clange plan and section settings so cover fits your needs.
Always be conscious about that type change for documentation, etc.

You can just cut a hole in the slab and place a skylight with the object tool rather than the skylight tool.

It won't be associated to the slab of course.

Or use the flat roof as Ricardo suggests.
