Tree hierarchy:
Rooflight tree objects are hierarchically organized under roof section objects.
Note: Rooflight
objects also appear as surfaces inside Room object hierarchies if the room is
in contact with an exposed roof.
The Rooflight object, when selected, provides an entry point to the roof data on the Properties For: Rooflight: [rooflight number] dialog. Here, you can view basic rooflight data such as the parent roof design and roof section as well as the level (elevation) of the roof and the section’s pitch value.
