      Mac must call sub def's differently from PC. I'll look into redoing these sub-def dialogs...

        Hello,

        The problem could be solve making one of the wings a block.

        You got there ahead of me ! However, we do need a kinder gable-roof rectangle checking routine - I'm on to it...

          fantastic script TIG!
          Please allow me to make the following small observation:
          see attachment

          The roof that is created is a 'true' hip with all of the faces at the same angle/slope. If you want a single springing point for all the apse rafters then make the apse-end a semi-circle, OR be prepared to make an uneven pitched roof by hand...

            The good news is... I have had a 'Pauline Moment' [road to Damascus and all that...]. I have seen the light... I am setting off re-writing the gable (and pyramid) tools so that you will only need to select point-one then point-two that will define where the line for where the gable (or pyramid pitch) starts and then point-three which gives the 'depth' of the gable-roof's base (or the pyramid's other side) - the point will be translated to a common 'z' anyway, so its exact location isn't critical, however, best to keep it square to the first two points as it'll return the true perpendicular distance from line pt1-pt2 to pt-3 anyway.

            The bad news is... you'll have to live with the deficiencies of v1.3 a bit longer while I fix all of this in "v2.0" with a new help .mht file...

            It'll take 'a few days'...

              That sounds good TIG and an improvement on what is already a fantastic tool.
              Look forward to testing version 2.0!

                This looks like yet another great script. I unfortunately echo Davekn's experience on a PPC Mac. I will try this next week on my work Intel Mac to see if the issues are the same. As an aside the .MHP file doesn't open on my Mac. The PDF is fine however.

                Many thanks and have a great day.

                    I'm closing this thread seeing that TIG has version 2 out already. You can find the thread here should you wish to continue posting about the Roof.rb script.

                    Thx.
