Roof Surfacer Extra

Anonymous

I don't know if I called it by its right name, but ArchiCAD 9 had a Roof Extras section where you could "skin" the top of the roof with metal roof panels, barrel tiles, or shingles as objects. I can't seem to find that feature in version 11, and our office is not planning on upgrading to any newer ArchiCADs anytime soon. Thanks for any help you can give me.

If I remember correctly, check under the help menu for goodies, that should open a page were you can download the roof extras.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with Roof Surfacer? It can't seem to actually COVER the roof... Leaves large gaps in tiles and has some tiles flying OFF the roof plan (horizontally)
