ArchiCAD Tutorial #66: ARCHICAD Roof Construction Techniques

[@geraldburwell7622]

Bless you, Jared and Shoegnome Architects! I am new to ArchiCAD (former AutoArchitect) and the wall/roof thing was driving me a little insane.

thank you! you're doing model very accuracy and organize.

Thanks ! I always thought that the Roofmaker wizard is the way but i think you have more control and accuracy doing it manually.

Hi Jared! Thanks for the tips! Really helpful. I would like to know how you put windows on the roof, considering that with this sistem you have two roof slabs one on top of the other. Thanks a lot.

You'd do it the same way as I do windows in walls with a second siding skin (www.shoegnome.com/2014/01/08/archicad-video-complex-profile-siding/). Build the roof out of as many layers of Roofs (roof tool) as you need, then place a Skylight and an empty roof opening. if you are doing a flat roof, you'd place the skylight as an object and just cut holes in all the roof layers. There's an example in my template (which is free to download, if you want it to be free): www.shoegnome.com/template/
