Roofs
I have just upgraded my copy of SweetHome3D to the paid copy. I've just spent three hours designing and NO ROOF. Are you kidding me. How do I create a sloping roof. In some of the threads it says this is interior design only. I did not see that. I have paid for this and you have no roof. I do not understand co ordinates and six sided boxes. Why can't I just create the area to cover, tell it its a roof and give an angle, then a texture. If I find out I can't do this then I've wasted time and money and I'll have to go somewhere else and start all over again. What am I supposed to do. This is dumb.

Re: Roofs
Sorry for the misunderstanding, but Sweet Home 3D is not a general architecture program. I always took care in official communication to describe Sweet Home 3D as an interior design application until now, and at least until the day when it will be possible to design roofs and exterior slopes. As programming these features is not my priority at the moment, you should try building roofs with the workarounds described in the FAQHow can I create a roof on top of a house? rather than using the Shape generator plug-in. In all cases, don't hesitate to describe the kind of roof you look for, the solution might not be so complicate to design it.
