Glass Roof Tests
So i was doing some testing one thing so many wanted these roofs for was for a skylight among other things. So I set out to see what they could do simply
First you will NOT see thew another roof even if the glassroof is the higher of the 2 you will just have a glass roof over another roof this will be fine for a green house or greenroom off a house but not for sky lights. what i did find is if you make a 2nd story and put the glass roof on that then you can have a skylight as long as the other roof is shorter than the glass roof.
this is an idea of what im talking about with the 2nd floor. that extra roof there shows the base hight of a roof. i just lowered the roof below the edges of the walls then flattened my glass roof.

inside BTW the plain glass roof looks funny from the inside like there is no roof at all

and this shows what happens if a roof is intersecting with a glass roof if you look closely you can see the top of the regular roof threw the glass roof
