Hi community! My first post here 🙂
Does anyone have experience with double pitched roof windows/skylight? I did not manage to solve within the built-in library and it is hard to find any bim object online, as these come mainly as rfa. Is there any workaround I am missing or is it just hand modelling here?
Thanks

@enjoystick1 You need to create an independent single plane horizontal (0 degree) roof and associate the roof light to that piece of roof to make it work.

You could also create the Skylight using the Curtain Wall tool. You could cut a Section through the Roof where the Skylight should be, and then you could place a Curtain Wall in the Section, in which case the Curtain Wall will be composed of two segments and will be extending perpendicularly to the section plane.
Using the Curtain Wall for this has the advantage that you can define a pattern for it so it remains parametric. Plus you can set different profiles or sizes to its various boundary and frame segments.
