Here's v3.3 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=17156#p17156

Apologies to the ~14 of you who already updated to v3.2 !
Please update to v3.3 asap...
It was quickly found to have some other issues with vector normalizing and soffit distortions, that I now suspect caused the v3.1 issues on the soffit sizes too... Fix one thing break another two!

I believe that this version is all corrected - I hope that it now sets everything back on an even keel...

Here's v3.4 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=17156#p17156
It fixes this reported glitch - it was only noticeable if you didn't have certain other scripts loading that also made a method that Roof used to recreate until the last update removed it by accident I did have that other script loading so I didn't spot it, and I rarely use A:B roof pitches anyway...
It's now fixed and the A:B pitch works properly again [as it used to prior to me messing it up in the previous update]

Here's v3.5 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=17156#p17156
A glitch with rare soffit/fascia combos fixed with @fstype="Vertical+Horizontal",
also issue with some distorted faces addressed so eaves are always 'out', Roof-Slope now reports to 3 d.p.
There were previously ~3000 downloads of v3.0... so a lot of you might need to update, as only ~350 of you updated to v3.4

Thanks for the update, the original has been a solid tool, looking forward to trying the new version.

I can't use it in pro 8..why……

Gaieus

I have 8 pro and the plugin works perfectly. There must be something else...

Your 'error report' is pretty useless

I what way 'can't you use it' ?

Do you have the latest version [v3.5] ?

Are there menu items that don't work?
Do they appear to work but fails?
Is the result not what was expected?

Have Window > Ruby Console open and post any errors that appear there...

It works fine on all platforms and recent versions of Sketchup...
There are no known clashes with other scripts after recent version changes [and a most unusual 'clash' between the new tool 'Artisan' and the older roof 'Roof' was quickly noticed - caused by them both being 'packed' - recent versions of Roof are not 'packed' to avoid this... as if one loaded the other didn't!]

thank you so much for this sir.

Here's v3.6 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=17156#p17156
Errors minimized. Speed greatly improved. Roof-Slope reported in Angle, 1:B and A:12.

Probably not a bug since it works for others.

What was the error message?

What error ?
I'm not psychic...
There is a known limitation, it's explained in the Usage Guide and several error messages.
It's possible to devise a shape - 'crooked star' etc - than can never have a hipped roof of equal pitches - it's a physical impossibility!
Also sometimes the edges of a face get messed up in their order when returned as a 'face loop' [especially after lots of editing] - then it can fail to make a roof that would otherwise have worked - again there are tips on fixing this - e.g. by re-creating the face, or copying it off as a group, exploding it etc, so Sketchup reorders the edges properly and moving it back into place...

Hi TIG!
The shape is a simple rectangle (5m x 10m). I´ve been tried some other shapes too, but still don´t work. The lines are all in the same plane, and parallel to the axes.

Your selected face is at z=0... AND it's facing downwards [top face is looking down] !
It's a limitation that a lone face at z=0 will fail...
So try moving it up from z=0 [even 1mm will do!] ... [AND you can also try Reversing it using the context-menu].
It should then work OK...

Hi Tig!
Great plugin. Im lifting up planty of houses from sitemap and drawing roofs on the top. There are many roofs with same angels and gabels. Often foundation is same height from ground and floors heights are equal. So I thought If you could add some parameters for those. Then when user have set default values. He can just pick countinues how meny house rectangles he want from sitemap and results are houses with roofs. I hope you understand what I mean. It is little bit faster to work this way. But of curse this is great plugin already. Great job. Thank you. D
