love struck   Thoughts about roof-plugin
Hi, I'm working with sh3d since more than 5 years. love struck
But I'm still unhappy with the way roofs are created. devilish

I'm a developer so I'm thinking about, how to improve it. But I don't know if I'll have the time to get it done all myself*) tongue.

  • roofs align with the shape of the outer walls
  • roofs have gabels and eaves (mostly aligned with the outer walls)
  • there are different shapes in between: roof documentation for OSM
So how to Build a roof:
atm: place several models to come as close to the original as possible.
My idea:

  • create a new level
  • Place the gabel (vertices and edges)
  • add properties like roof overhang, pitch and other (vertices and edges can have different properties each)
  • place pitched windows (models)
  • let the program calculate the roof
  • the program will

    • create a model for rendering
    • align the inner walls so no wall is sticking through the roof
what do you think about the idea? Have i forgotten a big blocker? confused
