Rooflights - do they show in axonometric view?

Hi,
When I create a flat roof (e.g. for a warehouse) and specify rooflights (or skylights) they don't appear in the 3-dimensional view or elsewhere. Am I doing something wrong or is this because DB assumes that a roof structure will be on top of the final block?

File for simple warehouse structure attached.

Tim,

The Roof windows/skylights facade data only works for sloped roofs because in flat roofs because there is no top and bottom to act as a starting point for the auto facade generation mechanism to work from.

To create windows and other openings openings on a flat roof you should go to the surface level and add them there by drawing them. Remember that you can use the clone tool to copy one or more windows (or rows of windows) at a time either at surface level or building level.
