      TIG, I can get all four roofs to work some of the time, pretty much hit or miss,even tried a rectangle on the floor as you suggested to davekn, it seems to work better when I try to put a roof over a square instead of a rectangle, works pretty much all of the time, so I'm guessing that you are correct in thinking of some rectangle tolerance method. Still a great script though, thanks.

        Well as I said, on my XP machine they are all working fine with 1.1.

        On my vista machine, the hipped roof works ok, none of the others will.

        These errors must be making your brain hurt TIG!

          They do (aaargh) especially when I don't get any errors on XP or Vista set-ups almost exactly like yours ...
          BUT it shall be sorted !

            Here's v1.2. Click here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=1516
            There's now a slight tolerance in checking if the face to make a gable or pyramid roof is rectangular. If the sides are out by less than ~0.2mm in 1000mm it'll still work. However, in that case you might get gables not lining perfectly with the block below.

            I hope this now addresses a few problems. Keep the feedback coming...

              Tried the version 2 but still no luck.
              Now when I pick the face & edge I dont get the dialogue box I had before about 'needing to pick a face & edge', but nothing else happens - no box to add the information required for eaves etc.
              Tried a rectangle on the floor & a square on the floor.
              Tried all the different types of roof.
              Is there anybody else on the forum who has a Mac & is getting the script to work? I am now worried I am doing something really stupid & missing something out.

              Thanks for all the effort.
              Dave

                TIG, the latest version seems to work alot better, only problem I'm having is with the gable roofs, they all seem to come up a little short. Keep up the good work. Thanks again for a great script.

                    I did have the same problem as Alpro posted above with the gable roof stopping short. This was intermittent though.

                      Hi TIG
                      Very nice work ! V1.2 is working OK here, both on W2000 and XP.
                      It's a pity that I can't translate it to french (script is crypted) 😒 πŸ˜‰
                      Regards,

                        Since I've copied your cunning techniques you should be able to crack it easily! ?;^)

                        Please feel free to make a re-encrypted french version, with a suitable change to the header in which you take the blame for the translation! ?:-| Toit.rb ?
                        You could also rework RoofHelp.mht into french - as say ToitAide.mht with the end menu bits reworked to suit, before recrypting...

                        Wait for v1.3 to arrive before doing any translating. The fix for v1.2 itself caused a glitch with the materials for some types of gables that I didn't spot before reissuing it yesterday...

                              The roof script is amazing Tig. It worked as advertised with no hitches. As an architectural illustrator it will get used to death. Your efforts are deeply appreciated,
                              Thank you!!!

                                V1.3 now offsets a gable roof to the side of the polygon used to define the roof.

                                  A new one - I haven't managed to reproduce that (yet). As you can see from others comments they aren't getting the problem. Does it always do it, or at certain rotations of the rectangle about the origin? What are the setting you use in the dialog and system are you on ?
                                  Edit: Found out the cause - looking for a fix. IF you have a manually drawn rectangle - 4 sides, drawn clockwise and the face reversed (down) you get your problem; with the same face if you reverse (up) it before running gable-roof tool the two gable-ends swap over but otherwise the roof is in the right place. Must be trappable and fixable - thinking on it...
                                  Looking into it now. It shall be fixed...

                                      The problem that I reported happens all of the time - regardless of how the rectangle is drawn. The problem did not occur in V1

                                        Still having the same problems with v3 as with the previous versions.

                                        The get slope angle works fine & so the script must be working - but as previously said I don't even get the initial info box when trying to draw any of the roofs.
                                        This must be a Mac thing.

                                            Super and very much needed script but the Gable still is iffy for me and some faces that are created square are refused by the script and will not execute.
                                            Here is a jpg and skp for your review.
