# Add Roof Windows
To add a Roof Window or Clerestory Window, a few steps are required to be completed to ensure the window faces into a conditioned space.
## Add Roof/Clerestory Windows
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Project the Roof to the Ceiling
Navigate to the drawing space and select the zone where you want to add the window. Left-click 'Using Envelope Settings' and navigate to the 'Ceiling' tab. Under 'Ceiling Method', choose 'Projected'. This will project the ceiling up to the roof level, combining the void above the ceiling with the space below to create one continuous volume. You now have a conditioned space where the roof or clerestory window can be added.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Edit Roof Geometry
Go back to Levels, then select 'Roof Geometry' and click 'Edit'. Select the aspect of the roof where you would like to place the window. Left-click on the desired face, then click 'Select Windows'.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Select Window Type
You will see two options for adding the window. As Concept, that define custom performance values and As Default, which use building default values or tags. In this case, select 'As Concept' and then the performance of the window (this can be changed later). We now have specifications provided for the roof or clerestory window.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Set Window Placement
Open the 'Window Placement' tab. Use the offset options to position the window. You can offset from the 'Left', 'Right', 'Top', 'Bottom', 'Top Roof Line' or 'Bottom Roof Line'. Use the sliders to adjust the placement, and remember, you can fine-tune the values using your keyboard arrow keys for precise adjustments.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Finalise and Review
Once you are happy with the placement, select 'Save and Close'. Switch to '3D View' and re-run the simulation to generate the updated DXF file.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.betterbuilding.io/user-guide/2d-building/building/levels/roof-geometry/add-roof-windows.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
