            Nice idea thomthom. Things are busy now, but I will try the plugin in depth at the weekend.
            For architects this is extremely useful!
            Now I don't have to ask the Rhino guy to do it for me and to import it in SU πŸ˜‰

            By the way,

              Just thought that muli-level flat and extrude might be a possible for structural elements and such.

                    Multi-level flat and extrude? Could you care to explain more what you got in mind?

                      I tride this plugin .The groups in the group can't be faltten
                      Is it a better idea to flatten the group in group,and hold the group of faces?

                      to build a city ,i always use clf_greeble_2.rb πŸ˜„

                        Currently it doesn't dig into nested groups. It only works on the edges directly inside the selected group/component.
                        Will change that later.

                            Hm. My city has just stopped at 31% (and SU is unresponsive). But I gues there are limitations also (file size and edge count) so maybe I shouldn't be so eager and clean the file up a bit before I try.

                                It seemed useful to be able to flatten selected objects (groups components etc) to adjusted (TIG's)heights above default Z height zero.
                                Then select and extrude +/- as wanted.
                                A multi-Z height selection.
                                Just an idea for consideration.

                                  Been trying to find a way to triangulate Roofs from 3d plans. Will never be perfect, but "good enough" to do the bulk work and get a rough idea of the shape.

                                  Think the name of this plugin isn't fitting any more. It's doing much more building than flattening. "BuildUp"?

                                    Sure - see your PM (when I finish this post). But in fact, the file is still a mess as everything is connected with everything (street ends for instance are "closed") and also it's a rather large piece of the city (and where I cut it out from the whole city plan, there are a bunch of open ends, too) so no wonder it didn't really work.

                                    Wherever I cleaned up a bit and grouped separately, it worked just fine.

                                          True, but that's a generic roof. All the existing roof tools make generic roofs. This is to generate accurate-ish roofs from 3D plan data.
