Re: Generate roof plugin
Looking on multiplier plugin, I think I found a solution. Very soon will be an update. Until that, the Daniels118 solution, is good for an workaround. Thanks again!

Re: Generate roof plugin
You could use Autodimensioning plugin which have this option. Then you can modify the generated roof projection if is not exactly what you want. Probably you will encounter the same problem with unit measurement.

Next version (4.5 or 5.0) probably at the end of the next year. We already work on it in the limit of time and your interest.
From CHANGE LOG: *add feature to compute holes in roof projection *add roof thickness *add specific property to roof piece of furniture *add option to set roof face invisibility before export *increase slope limit to 165 to cover entire range (180) *increase slope precision from 1 to 0.1 deg *increase number of selected faces to n-1 *add the reuse mechanism of the already generated roof ** now you could modify the roof including in new sessions ** implement an better way in generated levels *add few new elements to dialog
I've not too much to say while Daniels118 have made all hard work: -The most important is the plugin became active if you select an room(s) OR select a previously created roof with this version. -Add an specific entry under the Help menu pointing to an help page. The help page or user manual or both are a work in progress.
Also on Source Forge .

Re: Generate roof plugin
A big thank you to all the GRT team. The programming of all these plugins allows SH3D to be always more powerful. I'm envious of all that you do every day to make this software progress. To all of you I wish you a beautiful and happy year 2023. Didier

Re: Generate roof plugin
I've been playing with the GR plugin lately (4.0) and I'm very impressed! Up until now I managed to create pretty complex roofs using the bnl-* roof parts but this plugin makes it a lot easier and results in a single object. I now have more problems with creating the right size room(s) than generating the roof itself
Two little glitches which should be easy to fix: 1. When changing the selected roof the elevation is lost. The elevation can be reset after the roof is generated but you have to remember what it previously was. 2. The thickness is reset to the default instead of preserving the thickness you had set. This is a little trickier because it's too easy to forget to reset it to the thickness is was before.
Than a little trick I tried for those who want a different underside for the room part and the part that sticks outside the wall (overhang): Create a second, thin roof for just the room part and elevate it just under the main roof. That way you can set the underside texture/color for the room to a different one than you want for the outside overhang.

Re: Generate roof plugin
@Keet Thanks for feedback! I know this problems (1 & 2) and will be solved (somehow) in the next version. Unfortunately there are more other.

Re: Generate roof plugin
is it possible to not have the lower border when having 90 degrees slope
You have to make the corresponding roof face invisible in Roof generator NOT after. The face border will not be exported. In fact, on modify materials, you will have to set ONLY texture (color).
