That's because you're using a flat plan tool. If you look at my demo video, I use 3D plan data to generate the buildings. The faces are extruded up to the lines above it. The tolerance is not the extrude height - but the tolerance for closing open gaps in the lines.

I'm also having the same problem as arjun ..how can one create a 3d plan data??...Isn't there any way to automatically generated extruded faces out of such plans??

We get such data from surveyors.

From 2d plans? No - how would you expect it to work?

What are you trying to do? Make a set of generic boxes at various heights? In which case you want to look at the Random Push-Pull plugin.
Plan Tools is intended to be used to help generate volumes based on accurate real world 3d data.

Sr thomthom.
Thanks for this plugin.

Version 1.2.2
Minor Bugfixes

[nektares]

This is such a great plug-in, it should be on the must have visual index, it´s fantastic!

[thomthom]

Anyone got a better suggestion for a name that might describe the plugin better?

[Krisidious]

Urban Importer? Urban Planner?

[mitcorb]

Here are a few words: 3d Site Plan Context Modeler Surround(s) Neighborhood Zone Focus Local. Feel free to Slice and Dice as you please.
EDIT: I forgot Lifter Extruder AutoExtruder

[utiler]

How about 'Urban Morph tools'...?

[mitcorb]

Whoa, that just might be sinister enough

Only for those with a twisted mind, Tim.....

[thomthom]

Maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way. Maybe this plugin needs to be split into different plugins.

[utiler]

I think you right, Thom. Your plan tools are a little different from the urban forms tool..... Maybe expand city gen and incorporate the morph thingy....?
