Re: Generate roof plugin
Hi, bdfd.
1. I'm glad You try it and surprisingly work!!!
2. You've right, it's a bug.
"Why?"
When I make this I consider to be only one building in home plane.
The last picture I've post (with more buildings) I have to correct manually this bug.
Select all on newly Roof-gen level (roof & room under roof), cut and paste on first Roof-gen level. Then You delete the empty level.
3. I know is full of bugs and the worst was discovered by Hans.
It appear don't like the very regular shapes and fail.
When I make it I've tested on relatively complex shapes considering, on regular shape to work implicitly. I'm wrong!
Unfortunately, after ~6 month of work 10~12 h/day to this, I need a break.
4. This approach seems to be also a dead way.
Probably I need to learn python to convert Polyskel library or bpypolyskel with which maybe I don't need to reinvent the wheel.
Happy New Year to everybody!

Re: Generate roof plugin
1. Thanks You try it and share a video.
2. From video I've see few things:
2.1 The plugin work and show some errors (red arrows)
2.2 You use the alpha version; try to use v1.0
3. Also v1.0 will fail in some situations.
4. I work to new version but it took to long for only one man (when solve something I broke other thing and so on)

Re: Generate roof plugin
Hi Dorin,

i can't update the alpha version to 1.0 .. when i download the file, it says that plugin is installed but nothing happens.
I can't locate the installation folder to uninstall the plugin because i paid the full version on microsoft store .. any idea?

Emmanuel?

Re: Generate roof plugin
Hi Dorin,

first of all i have to say: you're a great programmer and i really love your "YAUP"s!

You really manage to create a useful plugin here!

can't wait to see more of this plugin, we all know that SH3d is a great tool but suffers of lacks of "architectural" functions,
with a improved side view plugin and and improved roof plugin, and who knows a stairs plugin. SH3d will become an handsome tool!

All of the plugins proves that there is a way to achieve such things

can't wait to see more:

i hope someday we could choose wich type of roofs

in the meantime, i have achieved to some roofs

Re: Generate roof plugin
Hi Dorin!

You so cool, with your usefull plagins!!!!

I tried, there are some issues with empty edges (yellow)

Also it could be great to mark somehow basic room sides in order roof to be opened on those

Or, may be, to generate all kind of edges and once, and one can make transparent those edges he doesnt need to show in his case (blue)

Re: Generate roof plugin
Hello, I have a problem where if I try to add a roof to my building, the generate option is grayed out, any idea how to get it to work???

Re: Generate roof plugin
One thing I forgot to mention is that I technically don't need the roof, it's just that for the thing that I am currently working on I would like to have a roof to give it a more complete look in a walkthrough of the outside of the building
