Trying to achieve a sawtooth roof design in archicad 27

How do I accomplish the sawtooth roof design with glazing on one of the sides to achieve natural daylighting? I have attached below my attempt.Screenshot 2026-02-16 114225.png

I can't say i have ever tried, but I would use separate roof planes with skylights for the windows.

If you can't find an appropriate skylight, you could just cut a hole in the roof.

Add an inclined wall in the hole and use regular windows in the wall.

Hi Archmjr2026

 

I had an idea and tested it. It works with wall function with window doors etc;
