After being blown away by the amazingness of the new Roof tool in ArchiCAD 15, you’re probably all thinking to yourself “I bet Cadimage have already got the Coverings tool to work with that”.
And you’d be right, we’ve got it covered (pardon the pun).
The automatic connecting-ness of the underlying polyroof is translated through to the Roof Covering, so you don’t have to re-attach a bunch more coverings once you’ve modified the roof.
As usual with the Coverings, modifications to the roof are picked up by the coverings as well, so everything is kept in sync. This works with the new polygon-editing style of working with the Roof tool now, so you can add polygons, add and subtract nodes, modify ridges, edges, and end types on your roofs and they all come through.
TL;DR – New features in ArchiCAD? We’ve got it under control.

What about applying Coverings to the new Shell Tool?

The shell tool can create some crazy shapes, most of which wouldn’t be able to be covered in real life with “traditional” building materials where the Covering Tool is focused.
