Hi everyone.
Just a simple roof question...
How do i make a hole in the middle of a roof? (for example, for a interior/exterior garden in the house)
Thanks a lot

Any way to cut the dormer roof in the main body of the roof so that it shows up correctly in the roof plan display. It works great if you SEO the dormer roof, but doesn't show up correctly in roof plan. Tried the click/cut way to do it but get screwy results. ("roof intersection" from the help menu). Trying not to do it the Autocad way......transfer lines from the section, etc. What's the secret here?

You should be able to use the same method (subtract from the pet palette), and you can even use your magic wand to trace the dormer parts. What screwy results are you getting?
