Hello.
I have problem with trim roof. I have archicad file that i must edit. When i Trim to roof it trims to top of roof instead of bottom.

Is this some simple mistake or where i must look to solve this?

On new plain project it works.

Thanks guys,

Jan

Just to clarify for those others playing along at home - the building materials of the roof need to have a greater strength than the wall so the roof cuts the wall rather than the wall cutting the roof.

If you use Solid Element Operation rather than Trim, the Building Material strength is not an issue.
