Lifting the limitations of Dormer Shed library

[Mike96]

I've got a problem with the native Dormer Shed in Archicad 25 and 28. I think its maximum Shed Roof Pitch value (screenshot) is hardcoded at 35 degrees. This is highly impractical and illogical limitation, and it should be increased to something like 89 deg. Sadly, I can't edit GDL myself, so I'm hoping someone would be able and so kind to try fixing it.

I placed it as skylight but the issue is the same if placed as an object.

PS

Sorry for Polish UI but I don't think this will be a problem.

Attached test model. Should I upload PLA or is PLN enough? Anyone can also start from scratch, it's a super simple example.

Operating system used: Windows 10

@Jaime-airc_digital,

maybe you want to take a look at it? I saw you got some experience with GDL and dormers :]

In 25+ years, I’ve never used the dormer objects vs modeling the dormers structurally/fully.  The objects are cute for demonstrating Archicad but, in my view, have no place in producing meaningful construction documents and data reporting.

Well, they certainly are not perfect for 2D documentation but sufficient for 3D presentation and that's what I need right now (and pretty often, too). I work with heritage architecture on a daily basis, producing both 2D docs and 3D models, and not gonna lie, these objects speed up roof modeling significantly, until... You need steeper roof.

Why even keep such libraries in database when they have such weird limits imposed? It's not like a feature missing, it's not underdeveloped. I don't know what the author had in mind: "hmmm, no one would surely use a dormer roof above 35 degrees, so let's make it a limit!" ?
