Hello,
Is anyone having problems using "roof" in 2017 pro ?
I get this in the ruby console (for a hipped roof) :
[it works fine in 2016 pro]Error: #<TypeError: reference to deleted Face>
C:/Users/apache3/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/Roof.rb:287:inouter_loop' C:/Users/apache3/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/Roof.rb:287:inhip'
C:/Users/apache3/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2017/SketchUp/Plugins/Roof.v4.rb:4088:inblock in <top (required)>' SketchUp:1:incall' -
It currently does not work in v2017 because of the way they changed how SketchUp references/IDs exploded entities.
It was reported in a separate post just before Xmas, it's on my list of things to fix...
Meanwhile you can still use it in v2016 and import the roof geometry into a v2017 model -
TIG, Thanks for your reply and all that You do.
Yep, I'm finding that I have to utilize a
similar workflow as a workaround with other
plugins too ... (in my transition to 2017).[slightly off subject]
In general, I also get the annoying extension
manager popup every session :
"There are 'x' extensions ready to be updated"
However, they won't update for various reasons.Onward and upward, as they say.

Hi TIG, sherwood111
To make it work in su2017, simply comment out the line 'gp.explode' two places in the file.
The code is referring to entities from a group after an explode, which is not allowed...Alternatively, move the lines mentioned down, e.g. before 'if sof==0###v3.0', to get rid of the group when no longer referred to. There are also other groups left in the model created, not sure if that is intentional.
Just a small contribution to thank for a fantastic plugin, has been most valuable!

Here's v4.0
There are some minor tweaks and it has been adjusted for full certification in v2016/2017 and also full compatibility with v2017's id changes etc.

Excellent ..
Yes, it is a fantastic and valuable plugin (installed and working in 2017).
tylovset, Thank You for your time and input . . .
TIG, Thank You for the plugin, your time and update.
Very Much Appreciated ! -
Thanks for doing this, TIG. very much appreciated; as always.....

Thanks TIG!!!!

Hello TIGI have installed V4.0 into SU2017.
I drew a simple rectanglular face and tried to create a hipped roof. However, I get the attached error message. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
-
SketchUp 2016 W10 32 bit
I get the same error message in SketchUp 2016 Roof v4.0
Tried also for version Roof v3.7 and got the same error message

This limitation is set out in the Help...
Your selected flat face cannot be at z=0 [i.e. on the ground].
Also it's best if the seed-face is looking upwards !
Yours is facing down AND at z=0
Try again, avoiding those limitations, i.e move the face up off the ground and reverse it so it's upwards... and it should then work [unless of course your face has such a complicated outline that it is just not possible to add a single-pitch hipped roof over it... but that's another issue]...
-
It works as expected for me. Thanks TIG!
-
Thanks so much TIG.
I assume that the help file for V3 is still current
-
The change was to make it compatible with v2017.
Its usage is unchanged... -
Tonight I saw an update for Tig's Roof plugin, I installed it, and it worked a couple of times. then I get this, Maybe I did something wrong, I don't know for sure.
-
This is a known limitation.
Please read the recent posts...
The seed-face used for a hipped roof must NOT be at z=0 [when do you see a roof on the ground ?], and it should also be oriented to face upwards.
Your test examples seem to involve a rectangle drawn directly onto the ground and it is facing downwards too !
Extrude that face upwards into a 'box', select its top face, and now a hipped roof should form OK... -
That makes sense, when I mentioned it worked, I was in another project and drew the roof on the floor (above 0Z) of that model, just experimenting with the update.

TIG,
I made a shape where I can create a Mansard roof, but it says it cannot make a Hipped roof.
I mention this because the algorithms seems similar. In fact, I can set "Height of Lower Roof" to only 1cm and it looks like a regular Hipped Roof. However, setting the height to 0 fails like Hipped roof.Could it be a bug? Here's the file: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnwI6G-MJcza1X_aCfVxdSqVB69t
-
The code for both roof-types is very similar, so I can't see why the hipped one fails.
However, it was easily fixed: I deleted the top face and drew over a single edge, so that SketchUp added back the face - as explained in the error-message sometimes a face's edge-order/loop-direction becomes confused in the SKP's data-base.
That replacement face then made a hipped roof without any difficulty...
