The round skylight consists out of a cake shape structure. There are 6 (or 8?) small glass plates in a cake piece form wich sits in frame making a full circle."
Is this a flat structure, or is it a cone shape? I have seen the cone shaped skylights before.
"In the middle there is a spindle and at the lower end oft it a hand wheel. With this wheel the skylight is moved up and down from the dining room."
If cone shape, do each of the "cakepiece " sections open on hinges? or if a flat structure, does the whole thing, lift vertically?
"On the photo you can see the inner side of an sill. This sill raises on the bridge deck about 20cm high ant atop of in is the skylight.
There are then 6 legs around the sill, about 60cm high (you are right with the height). The legs bear a ring and on this ring thee are the bearing for the table glass plate. Legs and ring are polished brass."
60cm !
I missed by one centimeter 
My brain may be "going" with age, but the eye still has it! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
probably the hardest thing to model will be all the polished brass !! 
OH! - - I'm guessing the diameter of the skylight is close to 92cm.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
