ACA Roof Object 12 - Dormer Windows

The Roof Object does not give any options for cutting out holes. In this example I show how easy it is to use MassGroups in combination with the roof object to be able to cut holes. Useful as shown for dormer windows, skylights etc it's not that hard to use the Roof Object to create exactly what you want, even if your roof shape is quite complex. I am beginning to believe there is very few roofs the Roof Object cannot do. Retaining the Roof Object with it's inherant intelligence is a big plus certainly in the design process.

I owe a lot to Odin's inquisitive nature in exploring ACA's mysteries.
