(or make an own parameter)<BR /> -Use the rotator object from the object depository :<A href="http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/object_depository.php?browse=Depository/Archicad%20Modules" target="_blank">object_depository</A><BR /> -Ralph Wessels Objective <A href="http://www.encina.co.uk/sw-download.html" target="_blank">Encina</A> (free for students)<BR /> -Or maybe in this case use a roof?
