Roof Tool - Barrel Vault

Vitruvius
Booster
I've just started on AC 10 and am creating a barrel vaulted roof.

I was kind of hoping Graphisoft would get their act together and allow us to eliminate the interior lines - this tool still behaves like something out of 1996. Is there a way to turn off those lines?

S t u a r t,
The type of roof you are modeling is really easy using
the mesh tool. It has four nodes, no ridges, the edges
can be arcs. and the two up hill nodes need to be assigned
a higher elevation than the lower two nodes.
And, of course, the SEO bit to slope the underside.

To have a mesh radial roof have shingles you would have to
draw the shingles in a radial pattern and make a symbol fill
out of the drawing and apply it to the mesh material.
A pain, granted.
