I wonder if you can just assign a glass material to the roof slab object. Although I do not know how you would do the mullions. custom blocks maybe?

yes, see your idea. would the gable end curtain wall be auto projectable to the 'glazed' roof plane - possibly, must try it.

however i am surprised to realise the situation is not a construction OOTB suitable for many domestic schemes...

the similar condition is a pitched continuous glazing above a corridor in a non domestic, schools, offices... quite common surely...:?

I have no experience in the glazed roof stuffs since I do 99% residential design lol. and I am quite new to the ACA stuffs. I would think this to be a common thing and would have something in the oob stuff for it.
