Roof.rb v1

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)
Regards,

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...

Version v1.3 of Roof.rb is now available.
Click here: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=153&t=1516
It fixes most of the outstanding bug reports. But keep the feedback coming...

TIG, v1.3 is working perfectly, thanks for a great script,it should be a big time saver.

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.

Sorry

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...

Thank you TIG. This is a truly wonderful script that will save me a lot of time

Hello TIG

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.

Are you getting any messages in the Ruby Console Window when you try and run it ?
Are there any other Mac users out there trying this ? Successfully or not ? I don't know of any Mac/PC issues that could be causing this...

dtrarch · 8 Dec 2007, 05:46

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.

Hello,

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

This error seems to be because the face although seemingly a rectangle has 5 sides ? I'm working on a fix for some other gable related problems and will try to fix this then. In the meanwhile draw a line on the gable edge, group it and edit the group and then draw a rectangle over the original, gable roof the lot new face in the group. Explode the group and you should still have the gable roof group. A fix is in progress...

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

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

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...
