- In the Skylights settings, check Include skylights. The Skylights settings are enabled.

- Enter a percentage value in the field provided for the Target % area.

Click
Update model (bottom right corner of the
Conceptual Modeling dialog).
Skylights size(W x L)
and
Target % area are used together to model the
building skylights. Skylight instances of the size you specified are added to
meet the target percentage area.
Tip: If you are using auto zoning, the exposed roof surface is divided into roof sections. Roof sections may be too small in area to model skylights if the target area percentage is smaller than the specified skylight size. To account for this, increase the target area percentage to a value that is relative to the roof section instead of the whole roof.
