@hansmex
In this case I don't know how to help you [:-/]
I could suggest you an classical solution:
1. Backup your current SH3D installation.(rename actual sweethome3d folder to sweethome3dBak or whatever)
2. Install the official v.7.5 from this site.(free)
3. Install the corrected version of RoofGenerator-v.5.1.sh3p
Note: Be sure to download and install the last corrected version.
Considering this, I suggest also to delete ALL RG versions from Download folder and download again before installing to be sure you double click on the correct file.
Please let me know if that works OR what error appears in the terminal.
Good luck and I wait!

I'm a newbie in Sweet Home 3D, but I've gotten to the point where I want to install a roof window in my roof.Unfortunately, I'm not managing to do it.Following this thread, I have Sweet Home 3D 7.5, Generate Roof 4.5, and Roof Windows 0.1 available under Kubuntu (Linux).Now, when I drag a roof window from the library into my RoofGen level, it stays horizontal and doesn't adapt to the angle of the roof.What am I doing wrong?

@Hansmex try to remove it with the Plugin Manager, it will look in the right folders for you.

@Swelst you have to edit the roof again to let the plugin adjust the windows. It is explained in this post:

I didn't get that after first reading. Now that you told me I read it again ... and now it works. [:D]

Another Question, maybe a dumb one: How to create a flat-roof ?

I use an extra level with very low walls as a border and a room for the roof. You can also use a box.

Sorry, but I don't understand that.
I already used a box. But the generator always makes a sloped roof and I don't now, how I can make it flat. Making all the angles 0° has very weird results ...

@Daniels
I completely removed SH3D, and after several attempts was able to install it from the MS app-store. Version: 7.6.2 MS Store 1521.

From Github I downloaded the Plugin Manager v1.5.3 and installed it. I installed my most used plugins - now it works!

However, the Yafaray plugin cannot be downloaded - Error code 522, or "Connection timed out"

Have a nice day!

Don't use the roof generator for a simple flat roof. Use a room or a box as I explained, no need for a generator.
