Lifting the limitations of Dormer Shed library

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

Hi Mike96,

 

No it's not theory that work like this in my Archicad. The images are real screen consecutive shots.

Not sure which library update you are using in AC28, but I am on Update 1 and the maximum pitch is limited to 5 less than the roof pitch.

Are you placing this object on the roof with the sky light tool rather than just as an object?

It should then automatically read the roof pitch and adjust to suit.
