      Thanks TIG, can see you have been busy..... πŸ‘

      Trig' is what I currently apply to work-out the roof profile vertically; or just set a fascia depth that is close. I just thought if it was a simple addition [obviously I don't speak the language] it would be a great alternative.....
      No problem, I can live with it. Keep up your great work!

        It might be easy enough to implement once I applied my self to it but it is one of my few encrypted tools too !
        It might happen... but not one day soon...

                      TIG,

                      Great plugin which I put through much use.

                      Recently however I went to use the roof plugin and noticed that it was missing from the plugins menu. Checked my plugin directory and it was in the correct location. Downloaded it again, just in case, and again placed it in the plugins directory but it still didn't show up in the plugins menu.

                      It finally showed up after I moved roof.rb into the tools menu which is something I've done in the past.

                      Only thing I've installed since I last used roof.rb has been "SDS2 Artisan". Probably conflict? Otherwise it works in the tools directory.

                      Thanks.

                      ➑ Update

                      I renamed artisan_loader.rb to artisan_loader.rbx and put roof.rb back in the plugins directory and it once again shows up.

                        Did you see the post by Gus R? I did the same thing that he did with the Artisan loader file extension and it shows up. It does appear to be a conflict between the two plugins. I guess moving it to Tools isn't a big deal though.

                          I assume you mean you put the Roof.rb file into the Plugins folder ?
                          There are also 'help' files available...
                          Where there any error messages at startup...
                          There should be no conflicts with the other scripts...
                          I have artisan AND Roof running together without issues πŸ˜•
                          It would be better if Roof.rb remained in the Plugins folder...
                          It will work inside the Tools folder but that is really for Google's own scripts...
                          You could try it in the Plugins but add a # to the start of its name [#Roof.rb] so that it loads before Artisan - then see if Artisan works too...

                          You can also test if it's loading [even if the menu item isn't there] by typing this into the Ruby Console...

                          Working ? Messages ?
                          Please report back...

                            TIG, it does load as the entry into the Console works. I changed the name to #Roof.rb and that works, too. The menu entry shows near the top of the Plugins menu instead of alphabetically.

                              BUT does Artisan then work ?
                              It already works for me either way, so I can't see what Artisan might be doing to screw up 'Roof' loading properly and making its menu?
                              Here's my [unscrambled] 'current' version - please see if this version of 'Roof.rb' works ?? NOTE: this pre-v.4 one is for 'testing only'...*** EDIT: I have removed the temporary version - please get this one [i.e. the 4 of you who tried it and any v3 users!] http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=17156#p17156

                                Oops. No, the toolbar for Artisan doesn't show up now nor does it appear in the menu.

                                The unscrambled version does work and Artisan seems to work with it, too.

                                  Yep, the latest version works for me too and doesn't mess up Artisan. Thanks.

                                    Here's a slightly improved version http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=17156#p17156
                                    It avoids the clash with Artisan [which is quite frankly completely inexplicable!] and fixes one or two other internal glitches...
                                    I have removed the test version from the recent post - please replace it with this linked one asap.....
                                    ALL users should download it asap........

                                        Thanks TIG. I'll do that when I get home and check it. I expect it'll be just fine though.

                                          Because I can't explain [explicate] it ! πŸ˜’

                                          My original code was encrypted [a simple encryption, as used by Didier Bur too].
                                          If that loads after Artisan then it has no menu BUT works from the Ruby Console [files load in alphanumeric order].
                                          If you renamed it so it loaded before Artisan then it was fine... BUT then Artisan didn't load at all πŸ˜’
                                          I used a decrypted version that worked fine with Artisan, so I was unaware of the problem...
                                          My own version had some minor coding tweaks BUT nothing I can see that should make it behave any differently to the encrypted one... There are almost 4,000 lines of code so I don't want to trawl all of them to find the possible culprit... there are no error messages to help and 'Roof' and 'Artisan' now work fine together with this version anyway...

                                          This new 'unencrypted' & tweaked version works fine now - I recommend everyone to change to it... πŸ˜’
