I'm glad to see here someone closer of my age (well, also more wiser than me).
Don't expect too much from me.

Let's start:
You've send me this:


If You send the sh3d file maybe could be easier.
Anyway I put it on background and I've try to understand what was in Your intentions
I suppose this could be the base structure.


Hiding the background, remain this:


I use Auto Dimension plugin to generate roof projection. (not mandatory)


The result is this:


It's not quite useful but it's a start
It appear You want to make a house from round wood,
so, You have to adjust the roof projection probably something like this,
by deleting unnecessary points from room


Now, with room selected, Tool->Generate roof...


Well, here are at least two variants:
1. simple hipped roof
Press Ok


Modify texture


2. Something like gabled roof
Select triangle faces and set angle at 90 dg ( or what ever You want)


After press Ok


Set texture...


Select some faces and mark them as invisible


Could be something like this


Of course You could make it better.
Good lack!

Hi Dorin,
Thank you very much for your very prompt reply. It is much appreciated.
I have not given you the full picture, for that I apologize.
I will attach the SH3D file separately. Until I get this finished I would like to keep this private. After that it will be available to TV and ALL in the Public Domain.
Regards Graham

1. I don't know if my explanations was useful (solve the problem);
2. The file would have been useful for more precise help;
At this moment I don't need it anymore.

Yes it's a Log Home, with a lot of work to be done still.
The First floor is to have a Bathroom and 4 more Bedrooms.
Much to be done...
Regards Graham

Wanted to start a new attempt to generate the roof but unfortunately without success.
Have the same problem as Graham.
I marked all the walls and carried out the Plugin Auto Dimension.
Now I can't get any further, Generates Roof (3.0) is still grayed?
How can I hide the background?
Sorry for my beginner questions.
Regards Klaus

Select generated roof projection (room) or any other room and Generate roof... will became active.
With Autodimensioning yo don't need to select enithing on plan.
Just lunch and chose "Selected walls" and check generate roof projection with noting selected in plan.

@dorin, first of all, thanks for the answer.
I probably make a mistake, I still don't manage to activate the roof generator.

I did the following:
1. 2nd floor selected
2. All walls marked
3. -> Tools -> Autodimension
4. Roofenerator is still gray ??

Would it be possible to explain the step by step to me?
I hope it is not too much.

Regards Klaus

Isn’t this post detailled enough?

[Klaus60]

You are right that is very detailed, I just stand too stupid to generate a roof. The roof generator is gray and I don't know what I'm doing wrong ??
