Just about there now!

Fig. 13 shows what you probably already suspected: To get the top edge of the gable draw a line from VP2 through Points 1 and 2. From there just color in the shape as shown, and now you have a four-sided skylight with a four-sided gable. Line EF wouldn't likely be complete, because it isn't likely to be a transparent gable...

Fig. 14 shows a vertical window. The bottom of the window was raised a bit from the edge. Its sides only have to be parallel with the sides of the gable, since the sides of the gable were vertical. From Point B- where the side touches the line from Point F- draw a line from VP2.

And that's it.

For the peak (why not, there was that extra space), all that had to be done was to draw an "X" on the face of the gable- using Points A, B, C, and D- to find the center, and through it draw yet another vertical line. I just chose that particular height at random.

After that I connected the top of the roof- the middle point there, on what was the 1/2 line- to the peak point. Then, connect the middle roof point to what was Point E on the gable in Fig. 13.

Had I wanted a "level" peak on the gable, I would have connected the gable peak to VP1, but you would not have been able to see that line.

And that's it. It seems complicated, but if you break it down to its basic steps, many of which are based on things from the earliest part of this tutorial, it won't be nearly as bad.

Hope this helped!
