Re: Generate roof plugin
The GRT offer you a new beta version Generate roof v.4.0.beta2
It was planed to appear at the end of 2023.
Without priceless help of Daniele this version are not possible to exist.

All users have to thank to crackwood01 and Klaus60 who "bought" a year for you!

1. It's a beta version so, Used with care!

2. Whats new:
-add roof thickness;
-compute holes in roof projection;
-make faces invisible in preview;
-add a fine tuning slider;
-remove Help button as useless;
-remove room under the roof;
-add some translations(IT and CN).

3. TO DO:
-add some specific property to the roof object(I don't know yet what or which);
-add a entry in the Help menu (for this are needed more collaboration. Maybe hansmax could do this);
-implement the other functions already programed by Tom Kelly.

4. Some pictures with some explanations:

Here are two letters with holes


Ctrl+A to select all (not mandatory). You could also select only needed rooms.


Tools->Generate roof...
As you could see ONLY the B are generated because is the bigger from selection.
If you want D you have to select only D.


Select one or more faces;
Modify slope as needed and make it invisible.


This could be the result in preview. OK.


Set materials texture and you could have this:


Finally few roofs made with this plugin:
This one I've use the holes feature:


For this one I've have to made a lot of aids walls and rooms until I've find an optimal solution
Are made from three different pieces of roof.


We (GRT) wish you all good health and a new year at least as good as the last!
