I personally have had no problems with Sketchup & Leopard.
I don't do HUGE projects but with domestic type property then it works a treat.

Hi Pete

although this is off topic I had to reply

Opened the forum today & was amazed to see a photo of where I live. Any reason you picked this area of Scotland or was it just random? Small world eh.

Cheers Dave

Hi Utiler

I wouldn't have anything other than an iPod but then again I am a Mac fan.

I have had an iPod now for a couple of years & it works perfectly. It is incredibly easy to download music from iTunes or from a CD & I can stream the result through my car radio with an f.m. transmitter if required.
Now I know all this can be done with other MP3s apart that is from iTunes which can ony be used with an iPod, but that is a HUGE plus.
My daughter uses an iPod with a PC & it works just as good - you just download the free iTunes to the computer.
Pros:-
Incredible design
Decent sound quality
iTunes
Huge market saturation
Did I mention incredible design

Cons :-
Slightly more expensive

I was a furniture designer in Local Government until about 30 years ago & then I came to the North West of Scotland to start a Hostel for Mountaineers. Great life but unfortunately not enough money & so as there was no call for furniture designers up here I turned my hand to architectural work. Mainly extensions & renovations of the old croft houses but an occasional house as well. I now seem to spend more time in my office than I did when I was in local government!!!

Pyramid roof -
I still get the instruction to pick a rectangular face & edge etc

Still having the same problems with v3 as with the previous versions.

The get slope angle works fine & so the script must be working - but as previously said I don't even get the initial info box when trying to draw any of the roofs.
This must be a Mac thing.

Tig

Tried the version 2 but still no luck.
Now when I pick the face & edge I dont get the dialogue box I had before about 'needing to pick a face & edge', but nothing else happens - no box to add the information required for eaves etc.
Tried a rectangle on the floor & a square on the floor.
Tried all the different types of roof.
Is there anybody else on the forum who has a Mac & is getting the script to work? I am now worried I am doing something really stupid & missing something out.

Thanks for all the effort.
Dave

Hi Tig

Sorry - I have just tried that as well.
Same result.

Dave

Hi Tig

Yes I downloaded v1 & I have tried drawing a rectangle on the floor but with exactly the same results.

I had to rename the the V1 download as I have the problem that all downloads apart from zipped files come in as 'download.php'. The original was okay as it came in a zipped file.
I presume the v1 file is still named roof.rb

many thanks Dave

Hi Tig

First off - many thanks for the script it looks great.
However at the moment I don't appear to be able get it to do anything at all.
I am using an iMAC & Sketchup Pro and when I select a horizontal face on the top of a box & go to the plugins folder & pick roof - hipped roof then nothing happens at all - I don't even get the first dialogue box.
If I select a face & gable edge & pick Gable ended roof then I get the message
'You must select one horizontal RECTANGULAR [= right-angled] face, and one edge (that's at the 'gable') !' even though this is what I have done. I have tried just about every combination of edges & faces to no avail.

If you need any further info then let me know.
Regards Dave
