Hole in roof

Anonymous
Not applicable
Trying to get a hole in a roof and in 17 we didn't have a problem with making the holes in the roofs. In 18 we do the same thing but the hole drops to the ridge line and I can't figure out how to change it from doing that.

For a multiplane roof:
Clicking on the eaves and using Add or Subtract from the pet palette will allow you to make a hole in the roof.
Clicking on the pivot line and using Add or Subtract will generate new ridges.

Generally when the roof is selected, and the roof tool is active drawing over the selection usually creates a hole - except in the case of a multiplane roof with 0mm eaves. So we are investigating this anomaly.
