Re: Generate roof plugin
What am I doing wrong?
Verify the plugin version. I suspect you have 3.1.1 NOT 4.0. On some Windows systems the new plugin version don't replace the old one, so you will have to do this manually or install and use Plugin Manager.

Re: Generate roof plugin
Version 4.0, and @Louis, I'm not adding anything other than a floor, then roof? Even if I place a floor on a new space on the drawing, where nothing has been before, the roof is about 6m up!

Re: Generate roof plugin
@Frazc Sorry, but with no offense, it is hard for me to believe you. The described symptoms correspond to 3.1.1 version. I believe you have download 4.0 version but, from different reasons it is not installed. So, PLEASE take some screenshots and put it here: 1. Go to Help->About menu and show me whats there (SH3D version, java etc). 2. Go to Help->About->Library... and, on Plug-in section, scroll to GenerateRoof. If you have Sweet Home 3D version 7.1 and GenerateRoof-4.0 please send me a test file with your issues. All this could help me (us, the GRT) to fix possible bugs. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Re: Generate roof plugin
This forum doesn't support attachments so how do you want the files? I have the screenshots showing ver 7.1.1 and ver 4.0 beta 2 for the roof generator. Cheers

Re: Generate roof plugin
1. You could use MediaFire and paste the links here. 2. You don't have the final version of Generate Roof. Take it from here

Re: Generate roof plugin
Downloaded that version, restarted it and all looked ok (screenshots in mediafile also). Tried a new roof, same issue. Hopefully you'll see something wrong in my settings or how I am doing this, but I can't find it! SH3P file: https://www.mediafire.com/file/9sltw8oklhlol1...oof_%25283%2529.sh3p/file

Re: Generate roof plugin
After several tries, I find that the problem lies in the fact that not all walls have the same height. In the L-shaped building the walls have different heights. In the rectangular building, the same problem occurs.
If you make ALL walls the same height, the Roof Generator works correctly.
Also, there are a few "strange" triangles visible at the "bottom" of the L-building. These are caused by the fact that - your walls don't connect properly, and - they don't align properly.
Send me your email addess, and I will mail you the file with corrections.
