Changing roof pitch changes roof type

Hi!

 

I dont get it. I drew a completely new simple gable roof. Then when I change roof pitch from tool palette

then Archicad changes my gable roof to hip roof. If I go into settings and change pitch from there it does not change my roof from gable to hip roof. What is going on here?

I am using AC28.

If it does not, look for the Enable All Informational Messages... menu command to turn these messages back on.

Yeah. Thanks. I think I at some point chose the wrong option and ticked do not show again. Enabling option was under work environment menus and you had to add it somewhere in the menu bar. File menu for example.
