    instead of making you own cupola use the CA ones in the library under exteriors>ext.attachments>cupolas and weathervanes , there are 4 of them in Pro 10

    see if they work properly, does for me , need to set a - negative height is all so it slides into the roof. they are resizeable too.

    found this thread from DJP from earlier this yr too ,doing it the tutorial way...

    WOW Mick, I looked high-n-low for one in my Pro, must have been looking to hard. That really worked great. Man, all the time I spent trying to do it manually. Only thing is they wanted a round top, not rectagular. I will be able to submit it to them tomorrow, and maybe they'll buy it! We'll see! I will still try David's You tube for the education.

    Well that sucks. I don't have any cupolas in my Pro-14 library.
    I thought the higher release number meant an upgrade.

    Don't kill your ideas.... Execute them.

    WELL, I made my first attempt doing it with DJP's You tube.....didn't work. I AM doing correctly, but it MUST have something to do with the already complete plan. The minute I go Build Floor>Blank Floor> open a Perspective camera view, the software kills my gables that have been there from the beginning, it sends the gable vents to the sky. Just don't understand it? If I star a new blank plan, and do the very same operations as the You Tube, it works beautifully. It is just when I go back to MY plan and try it over, the problem reappears. Getting frustrated!
