      Hi all developers,

      Consider this a plea for someone to create a standing seam roof generator. After spending what seemed like my entire childhood all over again, I created a seam group and copied it at the correct spacing (in my case 24"). But then the fun began where I had to explode the groups one-by-one and get them to meet up with the roof peaks. This was only one side and I'm ready to throw the entire project out the door! 😑

      So, if any of you would consider writing a routine, I would GLADLY pay for it (nominal smustard-type fee, that is - don't expect to retire off my payment! πŸ˜‰

      Thanks for listening to an old man belly-ache.

      Rick

          😳 you're looking for metal 😳
          have you considered profile builder? it may do the trick.
          has anyone used it for this?

            That website looks like what we use, so that would definitely work.

              If I understand correctly, you want something like this that Tim requested? ...like a 3D profile generator that will work around openings like windows or roof vents? That would be super cool πŸŽ‰

                That would work too, but my main use would be on the roof at the strange angles that the roofs are made. Throw in some trim around it too and it would be utopia! So, we have another potential sale for a ruby? πŸ˜„
