Those links will not work in our office because they are both through linked-in.  You are better off to post the image or a compacted project file here.  We have a 2 meg limit so if you want to post the project file, remove everything else and purge (3 times in succession) then save and post.  The file should easily be small enough.

For image files, the built in snipping tool from your operating system is great.

Just create a seperate mass there and create a roof by face - sloped glazing. Then turn off that mass.
