Placing multiple skylight windows

Anonymous · ‎2009-08-03

Hello, im quite new to archicad, and i need some help placing multiple skylight windows. Im not that good in explaining these kind of things in english, but i'll give it a go. Hope you understand what i mean.

I've placed 5 skylight windows next to eachother, and the problem accures under the roof (inside the room). In between every skylight window, the roof seem to make a "wall" between the windows. Its actually the roof that is making these "walls". What i want is that the skylight windows wont make a little glipse of wall between every window. I want them to be like when i place regular windows next to eachother. No wall between them.

Did anyone understand?

I have a picture..

Yamsan,
Please add your archicad version and OS to your profile.

The skylights may not be cutting holes in the roofs Perpendicular or vertical to your roof. Seehere

I would cut the roof hole manually and then I would add the skylights manually as well, but by using the object tool, not the skylight tool.

I also use Piotr's method. Skylight tool is buggy.
