Skylights and roof accessory (AC 15)

[Anonymous]

I was told of a bug. In AC 15 (FRA and INT, last hotfix), skylights do cut the roof but not the roof accessory.
After checking, I can't get the hole in the roof accessory.
I mean placing skylight with skylight tool, not object tool.

Can someone confirm, or are there some particular settings?

I confirm; ArchiCAD 15 ITA, last hotfix

Something to test: does this lack of cutting happen if you convert the 15 roof to pre-15 'single plane roofs'? I'm guessing that the (unsupported) accessory does not support the new roof tool, but only old style roof planes...?

Cheers,

@Francesco, thanks for the confirmation.

@Karl, it doesn't work in both situations.
I don't know the culprit, roof accessory tool, or skylight tool.
I have some reasons to think it is skylight tool, just a guess.

Frédéric Deschamp, who alerted me, has reported the bug to GS, via Abvent.
I was just curious to know if other versions were affected.
Cheers.

If, before you use the roof surfacer, you create an actual hole in the roof which is the same shape and size of the skylight and then apply the surfacer you will create the appropriate hole. Not elegant, but it works...
