windows in the ceiling
Hello,

I tried Sweet Home 3D and I'm absolutely impressed.

It even handles walls with different heights at their start and endpoint. Due to this it is possible for me to model my new home (which is in the attic).

The only thing I still can't figure out is how i can insert windows in the roof. (The programm would call it "the ceiling" I think)

If that is not implemented, is there anyone who could think of a workaround for that?

And if there is no possibility to archive this in a semi-realistic way, could you tell me how i can color an area of the ceiling in blue, just to remind me that there is window when I try to place a closet before it ;)

Thanks in advance,
Sumpfi

Re: windows in the ceiling
The only workaround would be to create a window or a blue rectangle with the sloping angle you need in Art of Illusion or Blender, export it to OBJ format and import it in Sweet Home 3D.
What is the angle in degrees of your ceiling?

Re: windows in the ceiling
Hi!

I'm new to Sweet Home 3D, and I'm encountered the same problem...
Can you help me out with the windows?

My attic walls are (for the degree calculation):
- 60 cm long
- low end: 140 cm
- high end: 250 cm

Thanks

Ps: I'm tried out Blender, but it's too complicated for me ... :)
