Roof Trim

GS seems to have broken how the Roof Trim function works. It appears that the trim is now bound by the Reference Line instead of the actual roof extents....

Turns out it was a setting that I never noticed until my new AC28 template had the Trimming Body set to Pivot by default... No wonder I could not find anything about this issue...

Roof 'trim' is bound by the 'trimming body'.

The roof trimming body can be to contours or pivot line.

If you have custom edge angles, the trimming body is taken from the lower surface roof edge.

Whelp, when was that introduced? Seems to have been around for a long time... And it's not quite Pivot Lines down since it still uses the Contour as a max. I wonder what the use case for using the Pivot option is... Wonder why my AC defaulted to it...
