Roof accessories

[Anonymous]

I downloaded the accessories from the "help goodies" pannel.
I copied the accessories folder to Ac add-on directory and reopened AC for roof accessories to be instaled.
Then I selected the roof, wwent design->design extras->roof accessories, but I got an empty accessories object window
What am I doing wrong?

thanks...if i understand, then i will have to redraw the first floor roof on the second story using the ghost wall below as pivot line..? -i'm pretty sure i drew it on the first floor plan..
-maybe i can cut and paste..? will this fix it ?

what i am after is to see the roof below if i am looking at the second floor plan. and not see it at all on the first floor plan.
or be able to turn it off altogether.

You can copy and paste from floor to floor. The height of the roof is set relative to the floor level, so will need to lower the roof after the paste, use the "Relative to Project Zero" to keep the same height you had on the first floor.

Roofs, slabs and objects have an option to display on more than their home story. To hide the roof, put it on a layer that can be hidden with layer combinations.
