Re: Thoughts about roof-plugin
We will have to wait. "Something is more than nothing" It took me 2 mounts for this and maybe will be other 6 for something acceptable. I've start from this Straight_skeleton and I've try to do something in this direction. At that moment is unusable. What You see are only polylines.

Re: Thoughts about roof-plugin
Hi Dorin, appreciate the work you are putting into to this plugin, i am sure many people will appreciate it. Just an idea, would it be possible to "tweak" the new "Terrain Generator" from Puybaret

Re: Thoughts about roof-plugin
Hi Mike, I've already try to learn and understand how Terrain Generator work but I have to many holes in my general knowledge. I have to learn more about 3D objects and the terminology used in 3D space and programing. That's mean a lot of time. At that moment I'm stuck here: I don't know how to use this polylines or what is the next step to convert them in 3D object.

Re: Thoughts about roof-plugin
Wow, I'm really excited about your progress. I'm not sure if i can contribute in the near future. I too was stuck at the generation of objects. I'm more into geo-information.

@youseeus
If someone want to get involved... i created a private repro at bitbucket
I'll be happy to see Your code even I'm not a programmer. Of course if You have finish the real roof for Your house! At that moment I'm in a process to learn basic 3D notions. The way suggested by Emmanuel is correct with update to use Terran Generator. My problem now is I don't know how to use java 3D principle BUT I will learn.

Re: Thoughts about roof-plugin
I made a little egg and now I'm cuddling like a hen. @Mike53 Thanks for inspiration! @Emmanuel & @youseeus Thanks for moral support! I wasted a month struggling with some angles but finally I made something. The most important thing is that I found a direction: - stright-skeleton - 2D polynons - 3D polygons from 2D polygons - 3D object Another thing was to cut back on claims. I preferred it to be something (imperfect) than nothing. That's what I've done so far: I start with failures: The thin red lines are unclosed polygons and thick red lines with arrow are wrong polygons. The blue polygons are good 2D faces Few acceptable
Finaly the Roof Generator plugin beta After installation select a room and Tools -> Generate..Bla..Bla...

Re: Thoughts about roof-plugin
!!!WARNING!!! 0. Now is full of bugs and errors! 1. I forget to mention: this is not intended to be used by common users; it don't produce noting useful (yet). 2. I was in hurry to share it because I'm very close to end of statistically hope of life in my country. 3. Wile already are more than 44 downloads I want to share also few files for developers testing: Exemple2 , Exemple4 , Exemple5 , Exemple7 and also Eclipse folder 4. Possible hint: find something between roof3D faces and obj insert in plan from ShapeGenerator or TerrainGenerator. I'll be happy to receive some attempt or contributions or at least some idea to follow.
