V1.3 now offsets a gable roof to the side of the polygon used to define the roof.
Sorry
SeasdesA 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 amanually 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...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.Dave

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... -
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.Dave

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

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

DaveThis 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...

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

Version 2 now out see this thread instead...

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.

Thank You for this, it is very useful.

There's version 3 here.
