ROOF PLANE TOOL


Maurice I Clarke

Question

The roof plane tool in Version 2018 is so bad (worse even than 2017) that I've had to revert to 2017 to keep working.

 

E.g. a rooflight appears with a 'column' of roof surface projecting through the rooflight. It's impossible to insert dormers any more, they have to be created with walls and roof planes, etc, etc.

 

Please can someone take a comprehensive look at the roof plane tool and make sure it's fit for purpose.

This is now an option for objects inserted into a roof or roof face, the "Hole Cut" parameter when inserting or editing a skylight or dormer controls this.

I was able to create a dormer in a test file with a roof face just now without issue, what specifically are you seeing when you attempt to do this?
