thank you.

but.... i can create the complex roof.
i can click on the outside line, get the pet pallet and cut a square out.
but i cant click another line on my roof, also get the pet pallet and make a cut. so.... i get a correct atrium shaped roof ?

what blond thing am i doing wrong ?
thanks.

I think you should click the Pivot Line polygon, not the outline of the Roof.

how do i find that ?
i clicked on every line i could see and the only line to give me the pet pallet ws the outside line ?

Are Roof Pivot Lines shown?
Make sure the View\On-Screen View Options\Roof Pivot Lines menu option is ON.
Plus, you need to use the Subtract from Polygon command of the Pet Palette.
