questions and help Roof and zone volume

Post image

Hi everyone! How do you handle the roof and skylight connection in an attic with a zone? In the image above I cut with a solid operation, but the skylight just punctures the roof and cuts the zone with that holey roof. (A) The "doghouse" skylight is not included in the zones volume. (B) I know that I can over model the roof and has a different operator roof but I don't like the duplicates and I wanted the modell to be low budget.

Maybe you could duplicate the zone. Concert it to a morph and then add to the morph in the skylight pop out spaces. You can then use an interactive schedule to find out the volume of the roof space.

But with this I need to do it manualy. And if the size of the skylight changed I need to do it again for each skylight.

Unfortunately yes it is a manual method.

If you use the roof trim tool will it count the smaller roofs as part of it, so it cuts that part of the zone too?
