Where have my nodes gone in roof builder?

Hey I use to have EDU Archicad 12, Now upgraded everthing to commercial etc.. anyway, I use to place my roofbuilder (cadimage) roof and it use to have the purple nodes in plan view for my to adjust default soffit widths and downpipe locations etc using stretch.. However since using the new commercial version I have lost the ability to do so? Is there an option that I need turning on? I have cadimage design suite and Archicad 12. Or did my educational version have add-ons that I now need 2 re-download to get this function. Its weird that the adjustable nodes have gone, they are still there in wall accessories.

Most of them are free to New Zealanders with the commercial version.

Johnny, you are using the version you got with the commercial version, 12.6? A restart usually fixes things like that. If not try a reinstal of them.

I'm not in front of my Archicad PC at the moment, however my design suite didn't come with Archicad as such was installed seperatly, I dont think it was 12.6, maybe 12.1 or 12.3? Shall I check for upgrades and upgrade?

My design suite is 12.1 and it says there are updates available however the page won't load to update? Is this because evrything has switched to Archicad 13 now

Contacting Cadimage is quicker in the first instance than trying to get answers here.

To anyone who has also had this problem... the solution is that when creating your roof, you have to have it set to ..'outlines only' ..[the roof not roof builder].
