Add Skylights
A skylight refers to a window that is placed on the roof of a building. It is a specific type of "fenestration surface" that generally includes all areas in the building's exterior, like windows, doors, and skylights, that let in light.
Add a Skylight
To draw a Skylight, we first need to have drawn a Roof. Next, select 'Levels' on the left side and locate any Level with a Roof. Now, left-click any 'Edit Zone'. In the drawing ribbon, select 'Add Skylights' and then draw the dimensions of the skylight. Your Skylight specification is always nominated under the Envelope settings for Skylights.
Skylights must be directly above a Zone and cannot be above two Zones, crossing an internal wall. It is generally ok to add up to five Skylights per zone. A roof may need to be split into multiple roofs to add more than five skylights.
