      I have an insane roof plan I am modeling from. It has multiple pitches. Anyone know of a plug in that can handle multiple pitches. I have Vali Roof Pro but I dont see a way to use more than one pitch.

        Although shown example in BuildEdgePlan2.0 (see http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=49648) seems to have one and the same pitch all over, it might be worth to have a look at it.

        However, is your model really that difficult "insane roof" that it can't be mastered with SU's native tools? Even the guides (measurements tool) can be "drawn" with an instant pitch.
        Do you have any pictures, showing the structure, to share here?

        Edit: measurements toolshould be protractor tool

        p.s. I forgot to mention that the rotate tool also accepts input like 1:3 or 1:2.5 etc. for rotating faces (individual roof planes).

          Hi guys,

          BuildEdge PLAN can do a different slope on every side of the roof, if desired. Each side of the roof has its own slope. Heel height or overhang.

          Unfortunately, I am out of the office and cannot post a picture of a roof, but I will try to get an image up in the next day or two.

          Please let me know if you have any more questions about our plugin, or, if you like, let me know about the roof that you need to model and I can give you my thoughts.

          Thanks!
          Aaron

            Bought BuildEdge Plan. Awesome script, did exactly what I needed. Well worth the $29 pricetag! I cannot wait to see the new release next month. I have been waiting a long time for something to handle walls like Revit.
