Re: Generate roof plugin
Hi Nicola, this way of managing the guide was already in our plans, in fact the plugin already adds an entry in the Help menu which points to an online page (http://daniels118.altervista.org/sh3d/roofgenerator/help/). The web page is currently under construction, and will be updated with video tutorials and examples as soon we will have the time to do it, without having to upgrade the plugin.

Re: Generate roof plugin
Some news about tutorials: 1. The tutorial made by Hans (hansmex) it is accessible here and from Help on SH3D. 2. A Roof dormers tutorial could be found here. (YAUT category) 2.1 The file used for the Roof Dormers tutorial .
Good luck!

Re: Generate roof plugin
We (the GRT) are happy you like it.
About Chinese(Simplified)(zh-CN) translations: What if you try to make a better one and I will add it to the plugin? If you are interested we could collaborate in private. An other variant could be "自动屋顶建造者" which mean "automatic roof builder" (Google translate) What do you think about?

It's not perfect but, with some imagination and a lot of work could be acceptable.

Re: Generate roof plugin
I already mentioned this same problem for the staircase generator. The Roof generator sets the system PC user as the creator in the generated source. That's a problem if you want to share your created home here on the site and don't want to disclose your user name or work from different PC's with different user names. Maybe implement what I suggested for the staircase generator: add a field to set a name for the creator.

Re: Generate roof plugin
It happen with all 3D object generators. Could be a problem ONLY if you share the .sh3d file. In such a case you could edit Home.xml to remove creator fields. Sharing the objects or a library will don't have such information.

I know I can edit the Home.xml file to remove the references but that is not the way it should be. It's a plain security leak.
Is this caused by the SH3D exporter or a Java function? If it's in the SH3D exporter Emmanuel should be able to fix this for all generators. Even replacing the creator tag with 'default' is better than the real user name.
