Re: Generate roof plugin
@YGYL
Thanks You test it!

1. All my plugins intend to be some tool box not Swiss army knife.
If You have something to fix in Your house, usually You need different tools from different toolbox (screwdriver with different heads, hammer, pliers etc.)
I don't think some of this are useless any time and could convert a hammer in screwdriver to have all in one finger.

2. I've add roof projection on Auto Dimensioning for two reason:
-- sometime is required in 2D plans in REAL LIFE
-- there are a lot of necessary subroutines which exist already

3. Auto Dimensioning is useful especially for round walls;
For relatively normal house You could draw roof projection by hand and don't use AD plugin.

4. Could You imagine and explain me how a user could interact with program?
-where to make click, then where and what to input or draw something, what program ask next and so on.
-maybe a scratch of UI and some explanations
Don't forget:
A computer program does what you tell it to do, not what you want it to do

5. If You help me to continue version 1 (with plane intersections)
it could be possible to use directly walls and their slope to generate more complex roofs.
Or You could provide another source code for this to contribute to this community.
