Re: Generate roof plugin
Take a look at the slope values of the faces.
Yep, three digits after the decimal point. Not something you would do by hand. But you don't need to if you can adjust the vertice coordinates.

But you got pretty far with this. I think it is one of the last technical features needed to open up the possibility to create any form and type of roof. It will also open up possibilities for dormers.

The original roof was created with the 3D Shape editor and that worked very well. But with that roof I knew the exact vertice coordinates to create each part. Knowing those coordinates made it very easy. Each part appears at the correct position and elevation when you know the coordinates!
I can't see it very well on the image but the texture alignment seems to need some fixing. Every part needs the outside borderline as the base, stretching toward the top. Just like real roof shingles would be attached. Of course it is Work in progress but so far you have done an amazing job with this.
Thank you very much for your time and effort!
(Looking forward to a multi-point shape editor. I'm afraid I'm wearing it out with the number of times I use that tool!)
