Re: Generate roof plugin Thanks to all. I forgot to mention that: The plugin have now the feature to reuse the last saved roof. Condition: to be the same roof projection(s) without modifications. Then, when OK, you will be asked to replace or not the existing roof. @hansmex I've chose you for this because 10~12 years ago you made a good tutorial about plugins usage. Many years was a little bible for me. Wile I've remove help button I intend to add an specific entry under the Help menu (like for wiring and 3D dimensions). In this case will be good to have some gif. Thanks for availability! ---------------------------------------- A computer program does what you tell it to do, not what you want it to do.

Re: Generate roof plugin this project is making me hungry of development... I managed to buy a new PC at home, so when I'll have it setup I'll try to download the code and check if I can understand. You'll tell me if my help is fine or not, but at least I'll try to understand the code! Great work to all! |

Re: Generate roof plugin @crackwood01 We are far from having a "black and white" view from the side, however you can now have a textured side view where you can draw dimension lines. To do this, you can exploit the new feature of the Pan 3D view plugin which enables the parallel projection in 3D view (CTRL+J) and allows to align the camera to the selected object (CTRL+K). You can then add vertical dimension lines using the 3D dimension lines plugin with the help of a "tracing paper" (i.e. a transparent object where you can draw the dimension lines.) You can download a tracing paper model of 10x5 meters from here. Here an example result: ![]() |

Re: Generate roof plugin You may use this method. From my experience it works only for error messages, not normal output (any try to redirect the stdout failed). It should be enough for most cases, however if it shouldn't be so, you may try this method. |

Re: Generate roof plugin @crackwood01 Finlay I've found one of the combination of setting to reproduce this error. Now I'll try to fix it! It's something with unit measurement (Inch, foot etc). Thanks to report it. ---------------------------------------- A computer program does what you tell it to do, not what you want it to do. Murphy's Law When all else fails, read the instructions.

Re: Generate roof plugin @crackwood01 This is a bug of version 4.0.beta2, it only happens if you are using the imperial system. You may switch to the metric system or downgrade to the latest stable version. @Dorin The thickness is initialized to 10 cm, but when imperial system is used the minimum value is set to 1 foot = 30 cm, which is greater than the value, causing the exception. Maybe the minimum should be 1/4 foot (3 inches). EDIT: we wrote at the same time! |
