Hello, I have added a porch or glazed opening constructed of glazed curtain walling, but cannot and do not know how to add a sloped glazed roof to the top of the porch, could anyone please assist me in this matter.

Thanks

If you had a mass you could use the roof by face option and just pick the faces (or even use a curtain wall to do it). If you don't have a mass, then just create a roof which has one layer set to be glass. Use the option Roof by footprint and you'll be able to define slopes and overhang (or not) for each line od the sketch.

In the roof tool there is a type called, I believe, Sloped glazing (I'm on a netbook, so no checking for me right now) You build it like a regular roof, but can set up mullion spacing and such.

ETA- It's a different System Family, but still within the roof sketch mode.
