This is great idea . I used to design pools using pool studio and it had great auto roof maker. I'm really confused by this program doesn't have it. I think even the sims 1 had an auto roof...I hope you get this finished!

Re: Thoughts about roof-plugin
Hello!
Some ideas about roofing:
1. Draw roof on plane view point by point by polyline, then feature create projection of it on needed angle with specified roof tickness
2. I'm not sure if this logic easy to implement to SH or not, but roof could be created with frontal sloping walls.
Big bonus of this - standard windows could be used as roof window.
Now if i need roof with windows - I create wall (adjust ens heights if needed), put window there, copy as a furniture, paste and adjust needed angle. But I need to do it many times, because very hard to find good heights and lenght after angled.
So, use case: draw wall, adjust up and lower heights and set needed andgle. After I can adjust heights and dimensions in parameters
2. Is it possible to make "adjustable box", tuning it like posing of mannequin?

If the interior walls are 4" thick and the exterior walls are 6" thick (this is standard in Architectural Drafting), then couldn't the algorithm just automatically snap the edges of a roof to the endpoints of the 6" thick exterior walls, and be set to draw center-lines either vertically or horizontally, so they connect with the longest center line perpendicularly or at an angle selected by the user when right clicking on them?

Hello All If someone has programming experience and still interested in creating a plugin for Roofs, I have 40 sample images + 40 different palettes to import into "Eclipse" to create Java dialogues with details / dimensions of each Roof Type. Cheers

I don't have BUT

I am.

BUT where is the png and sources for Eclipse ??? Make a zip and put it somewhere to be downloaded. Don't expect too much from me but who knows?? BTW Why don't try to give us some codes? I usually stole it but now I accept it for free. PS I'll by You a beer when I meet You.

Re: Thoughts about roof-plugin
I didn't do much since my last post. (except i built a house 😅) I'm still interested in this plug-in. But my priorities just shifted a bit :) i invested some time on understanding the code. I'm a professional java developer, but at some points i just didn't understand the data structure and -flow.
It's a work in Progress, any improvements / suggestions or modifications are welcomed!
