There is already a Skylight Tool in ArchiCAD. It can place Skylights into Roofs and Shells. You can also script you own Skylight objects.

Skylight tool needs ability to span across joints in roofs, eg across ridges or change in slope - currently no elegant way to do this without clunky SEO workarounds to cut holes etc - which then tends to confuse accessory roofing addons (eg CADimage coverings) that need to reconcile holes cut by skylight & hole cut by SEO
