How to get rid of the slope warning in Skylight

Every time I insert a 'Skylight Top Hung' into a 4/12 or something roof I am getting this warning pop-up message about skylights in such slopes requiring special flashing whatever (it got very exasperating the other day when I multiplied to get dozens of skylights). And then every time I regenerate the 3D window I get an error message (the drawing itself looks fine) which I suspect to have the same code root cause.

I checked the object code and could not find any PRINT command or any 'lowest admissible slope' parameter to mess around with. So I suspect the warning is built into the API. Is there any way of getting rid of it?

reminds me of the warning in Vectorworks where you try to create a roof with no overhang and it tells you 'not recommended' ,so you click OK and it refuses to create my roof

who's in charge here? a qualified architect or a coder?

Ignacio,
Try making your roof pitch within the range suggested
in the pop-up message then, place all the roof windows
that you want, then change the roof pitch to what you want.
I don't think you will get the pop-up.
I know it's really dumb but it seems to work.

I also notice that, unlike previous versions of AC,
the plumb cuts at the eave and ridge stay plumb
after the pitch is changed from the pitch assigned to the roof
when the roof was first created.
Which helps this dumb work-around work.
(Is that a complete sentence?)
