      solo, those gifs kill my browser every time i open a thread you've posted one in..

      [as in, had to force quit safari, set prefs to not display images, then open this thread just so i could make this post]

      no one else has that problem?

      no.

        hmm, yeah.. it's weird.
        i don't have a problem on my mbp or even iphone but my desktop just can't deal with it.. i don't know why because it's generally more powerful than the laptop or especially the phone.

            Hello all,

            I'm very happy that people here have taken the time to try out my scripts. Thanks for the kind words! Yes, I suppose it's not that clear on my website what the difference between the free and pro versions are. (My wife was right again). So here it is:

            Instant Roof free version limitation:
            The free version will only create the following roof slopes: 1/8:12 (0.6 degrees) ; 2:12 (9.5 degrees) ; 6:12 (26.6 degrees) ; 16:12 (53 degrees) or 24:12 (63 degrees).
            The pro version does not have this limitation and will create roof slopes between 1/8:12 (0.6 degrees) and 24:12 (63 degrees)

            Instant Road free version limitations:
            Shoulder width is limited to 36 inches (91 cm) maximum
            The 'Make Road from Center Line Edge(s)' method limits road widths to the range: 6 feet - 10 feet (182 cm - 304 cm)
            Curb width is limited to 6 inches (15 cm) - (no sidewalks in the free version)
            The pro version does not have any of these limitations.

            Instant Site Grader free version limitation:
            Shoulder width is limited to 36 inches (91 cm) maximum
            The pro version is not limited.

            BTW, I want to extend special thanks to Chris Fullmer. I started writing these plugins after watching his SketchUp ruby scripting tutorials.

            Chuck

                welcome Chuck... great plugins... already made my purchase. gonna save me loads of time and make my work look much better. I can't wait to make some driveways and walkways.

                for future ideas I was wondering if I could get InstantHouse, InstantConstructionDocs and InstantWife? and while we're at it InstantCash?

                  There's sure to be bugs with 'instantWife' plugin, Kris. Maybe an instantMistriss' plugin might be safer; when it crashes, it and use for a while till there is an update..... 😎

                      I also love the plugin instant Roof, Haven't downloaded the others yet. I will surly be thinking about going pro on this one!Seems well worth the asking price, its just right now I'm broker than uncle Sam without China! I do plan on purchasing it but first I just got to stop laughing at the Instant Wife and Instant Cash ideas! I live in America so depending on who you are the Instant Cash is taken care of I think cause they'll just print more as you need it but the Instant Wife you may have a problem with but then again it may come as a combo with the Instant Cash? Got the cash you got wife? Chuck, all jokes a side nice plugins and like someone has already said the Instant roof plugin is what architectural/contruction industry for sketchup need I think!

                          I agree with everyone, this is a great find - thank you Chuck for creating these time savers. I have gone through the tutorials and will be downloading the free versions this morning - probably upgrading by lunch time! β˜€ πŸ‘

                            As above this is just the best plugin. Do you have a tutorial on the

                            Edit Slope, Eave and Fascia Settings?

                            Edit Hips and Rafters Settings?

                            or should I just play around until I understand the functions

                            Thanks

                              Hi Chuck,

                              Welcome to SCF, and what an introduction. Great toolset. I've been a long time user of 1001bits and this is like it long lost sister.

                              Congrats

                                Hi everybody!

                                "Instant" has kind of been a joke around my house recently too. With me as the butt. I've actually been working on the instantCash program since Fortran days, but I could only ever get it to decrement - never increment.

                                Here's a link to a pdf where I attempt to show what most of the roof, eave, fascia, rafter and hip parameters do: http://www.valiarchitects.com/sites/default/files/tutorials/pdf/Roof-parameters.pdf

                                Thanks for all the comments.

                                Chuck

                                  Fortran.

                                  Must be in your 60's?

                                  First computer class I ever took (1968). Took longer punching the cards and standing in line to submit them and to get the printout two days later than to figure how to write the 30 or-so line do-loop.

                                  Congratulations of some very useful scripts, Chuck.

                                    WOW πŸ‘
                                    Question ? β˜€
                                    Have not tried Road King yet but will the road follow a preset path using standard highway slopes/grades and such or is it just a contour follower? ❓
                                    Really slick stuff and thanks for such good docs too.

                                      New question:
                                      Does it work with SU 7.1 free
                                      or just 8.0 Pro? ❓

                                      Is path hard coded to standard SU install?
                                      If so how about an install that has a path option?

                                      Road does not work for me with SU 7.1 free std path and does not show in Plugins for non standard SU 8 Pro path.

                                      thx

                                          That Road plugin looks great! Perfect for making roads in Unity too. πŸ˜„

                                          OT; It was funny listening to some of the word pronunciations in the videos too- like "roof" pronounced "ruuf"- like a dogs bark! πŸ˜† I noticed that the TornadoTwins who make Unity instructional videos on YouTube also say "Hoover" instead of 'hover'. It's just an accent thing that I've always found fascinating (like the American accent, essentially being an Irish accent mixed with German- well that's what the American accent sounds like to me!).

                                          Great plugins. I will probably buy these- especially if the roof plugins can cope with buildings constructed with odd angled walls- like British Edwardian houses for eg.

                                            Sorry, it doesn't do anything that fancy. I intended it as more of a schematic design tool. The script takes road center points, finds the corresponding terrain elevations and attempts to make a road with level cross slopes at those elevations. That's really all it does.
