Where is the skylight tool?

Hello everyone,

I have two questions regarding making and showing drawings in Archicad.

1) The first one being that since I downloaded Archicad 24, I can't seem to find my Skylight tool anymore in between the other building tools. Has something changed or has it been replaced by another tool? Or is this problem perhaps related to having wrong/incorrect libraries installed?

... [Question 2 moved to a new thread: PLEASE keep each thread to a single topic. If you have two totally unrelated questions, make two posts, each to the proper forum. Moderator.]

If someone could help me with these (or just one of these) questions, that would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Milan

Ps if something is unclear, just let me know, I will be happy to clarify anything or send some screenshots of what I meant.

The skylight tool is still there.
Make sure you have a standard Work Environment installed.
If you have a custom one it may not include the skylight tool.

Also look in the menus - DESIGN >DESIGN TOOLS to see if the skylight tool is there.
That is another way to access it.

Thanks! I had never changed the work environment before but for some reason it was not in my 'Build' - part of the toolbar. I added it manually and that seems to fix all the issues...

Thanks again!
