Curtain Wall Roof

[Anonymous]

The image attached shows a section of curtain walling i would like to place a glazed roof onto.

I am able to draw a roof by footprint and change the material to a glazed curtain wall but is there anyway i can add mullions or a frame?

Any help on the matter would be great! Thanks in advance.

Create a roof by footprint. Then, change the roof's type to be: "Sloped glazing". Then add the grids and mullions, manually, or by editing the roof's type properties.

I can make the entire sloped roof as curtain wall using the sloped glazing. But how do I make it within a rectangular portion of the roof (like a skylight window with grids and mullions)?  

Thanks,

Probably you need to cut an opening in the existing roof, then create another roof based on the edges of the opening. Make sure you use place the slopes in the correct places and quantities. Then, make the new roof a "Glazed" type, so that you can apply grids and mullions to the roof, as if it was a curtain wall. Then, from an elevation view, you might need to move the new small roof to match the height of the existing roof.

Alfredo,

It works. I tested in two ways. With a sloped mass, the new curtain wall can be attached directly on the roof with an openning. The sloped glaze is embeded with the first roof. If the original sloped roof was produced through "roof by footprint", I had to make another roof by footprint. It's messy but still has the effect.

Thanks,

Jason
