FRED JOHNSON Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 This may be a basic question but I can't seem to make a roof dormer nor insert a window into it. The directions in the VW "how to" don't seem to work. I have created the roof and the 2d/3d window but the "edit roof elements" dialog does not appear..HELP and be very specific and step by step.

VincentCuclair Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Drag the window symbol from the resource browser onto the roof object and the dormer will be created automatically. Quote Link to comment
FRED JOHNSON Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Did that, did not work..2d/3d window symbol just sits there.. Quote Link to comment
VincentCuclair Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) Sorry, I assumed you were using 2012/2013 but you're on 2010, can't remember how it was there. Edited December 11, 2012 by Vincent C Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 In Vw 2013 dormers and skylights can be added to both Roof and Roof Face objects. In earlier versions they only work in Roof objects. Quote Link to comment
FRED JOHNSON Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 I found the answer, roof object has to have a fill, without it the window won't insert. Quote Link to comment

(Can it be so that the roof doesn't 'sense' the symbol because there is no fill? Try placing the symbol on the roof (without fill) edge.) Edited December 13, 2012 by Vincent C Quote Link to comment
