Velux Roof windows

I have been trying to use Velux's roof window object/plug-in but can only find it in Hungarian. Unfortunately my Magyar is very rusty! Has anyone translated this into English - I've searched every one of Velux's international sites and e-mailed every one of them as well - but to no avail.

Here's a link to the object:

You should phone Denmark and put some pressure on them. The more of us that do, eventually they will recognize the need.

Yes I know about this one - I got Velux to send me this last year but it is a couple of years out of date (not that it makes any difference, as I speak German like a Hungarian cow) - The thing is the Hungarians are up to date with AC10. Someone in Hungary has even produced a PDF guide for the thing - so no little investment of time has been made developing this. As I asked Velux Denmark: surely someone in Velux Hungary can speak English and translate this for an international market? ... ... or how about someone at Graphisoft rolling up their sleeves?

Thanks for your suggestion Thomas - I'm in the middle of e-mail correspondance with them at the moment - anyone else want to mail them? I'm writing to a guy called 'Thomas Marcussen' <thomas.marcussen@VELUX.com>

It seems the programmers sit very close to GS:

Has Velux/GS made a English/Scandinavian window yet?

Nope

Just German or Hungarian, from AC7 to AC10 for the hungarian one.
You can download hungarian version here http://www.eptar.hu/eptar_letoltes_addon.php#velux

Not available here, but your NZ velux site has "Archicad.pla drawings"

http://www.velux.co.nz/professionals/ARCHITECTSANDDESIGNERS/CADDrawings/

On their US web site, there are links to Google Sketchup components.

For GDL library parts, the Austrian link above still works. Only updated for AC8.1.

But the Hungarian is on AC11 now. Sorry, no English. The Danish company have developed their own "Daylight visualizer" modeler. It can't import models from any other program. Idiots!

IMHE ArchiCAD implementation is at the discretion of the local Velux office.

Then again, nobody stops you from using the Hungarian or the German ones. The catalogue is more or less the same ...
