RoofMaker Library 10

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Jul 2006 02:05:19 GMT

Hello,
I just noticed that the RoofMaker Library 10 folder is outside
of the Archicad Library 10 folder.
In AC 9 it is inside the Archicad Library folder
I remember in AC 8.1 the RoofMaker lib parts were not
in a folder but scattered around in the AC 8.1 Library folder
and one had to gather them up and put them in a folder
inside the AC 8.1 Library folder so that the object tool could find them.

Can anyone think of a reason not to put the RoofMaker Library 10 folder
inside the Archicad Library 10 folder ?
I mean the "extracted" Archicad Library 10 folder
which is the one I use.

Thank you,
Peter Devlin

Hello,
I just checked because it occurred to me that when
RoofMaker frames a roof it would have to load the
RoofMaker Library.
I made a roof with a valley in it and selected Roof Wizard,
set all parameters, and hit OK.
Immediately an error alert comes up saying
"Cannot find library part in any library...."
No roof framing was placed in the plan.
I did notice that RoofMaker created a new layer called "A-Roof".

I may have to move the RoofMaker Library 10 into the
Archicad Library 10 folder so RoofMaker can find it's own library.

Thank you,
Peter Devlin

Well, I took the risk and dragged the RoofMaker Library 10 folder
into the Archicad Library 10 folder.
I still had the project open so I reloaded libraries.
I invoked RoofMaker again and everything went fine.
I got a completely framed roof. No problem.

Everything else seemed fine as well (apparently).
