    4) With the window selected, select Edit > Duplicate Array.

     

    5) In the Duplicate Array dialog box, set the shape of the array, the number of duplicate windows you want, and the distance to offset each of the windows. Click OK.

    8) In the Resource Browser, double-click the new symbol to activate it.

     

    9) Click on the roof object to place the window symbol.

     

    10) In the Edit Roof Element dialog box, select the dormer style, and click OK. For this demonstration we used a shed style.

    Using Designer 2017. I have created roof and want to add a dormer and found this article. No where can I find the "10) In the Edit Roof Element dialog box, select the dormer style, and click OK. For this demonstration we used a shed style.". My only option when left clicking on the roof element is "edit roof style" along with your standard VW options. Please help.
