Re: Generate roof plugin
Hello!

I finally have taken the time to test this plugin, And here is my humble opinion:

It is amazing! As you've seen, I spent days building the roof parts that work as a pieces of LEGO to build roofs. But, this plugin, summarizes it in few seconds, overcoming the troubles of making roofs in the traditional way (building and rotating triangles). That's why I built the parts... I know absolutely nothing about programming.

Roof Generating plugin just amazed me.

It doesn't leave tips of roof inside.
Textures are set properly in all faces (tiles drain water to down).
You can personalize the roof.
The base (ceiling of the attic) could be generated as well, if you copy and then paste the roof and then set the copy below, with proper modifications.

And, If don't matter, I'll tell you what would make it perfect (I've just try):

If square or even round holes could be opened in parts of the roof. It could be set in one of two ways:

1. In the dialog of the plugin, before the roof generation.
2. Making the roof object, once generated, to act as a room when a stair is inserted, or a wall when a door or window is inserted.

This could allow the creation of everything else: Dormers, chimneys, monitor roofs, skylights, vents...

Congratulations. This has been a dream plugin. I'll give one of my hands to know programming and cooperate instead of only suggest.

Have a nice day, and thank you so much for your work!

I don't know about round holes but Dorin created the possibility to add special windows into the roof. Indeed one of the very best plugins!

Re: Generate roof plugin
You need both hands to write code faster! No need to give away body parts, just time to learn and try.
You can obtain rectangular holes using the roof window library. Then if you need just the hole for a stair, you can make the window invisible.

Re: Generate roof plugin
Welcome aboard!
While you're already here don't hurt to read the entire tread from start. I have written several user manuals (outdated) but still valid.
0. All the awards have to go to Daniels118 and Emmanuel.
I know absolutely nothing about programming.
I'm not either.
1. Keep your hand and fingers safe; you will need them.
2. Be carefully, a dream could easy became a nightmare.
The last version is a nightmare for me and I'm a nightmare for Daniels118.
3. Nothing is perfect! (Not even God, look at the world created in seven days).
I've never tried round holes but half round. (See this post )
or Roof dormers tutorial .
If you need help just ask.
