    • A plug-in for roof with different slopes like "saltbox"

      I am new to Sketchup and am trying to develop a plan for a garden shed. I've installed the House Builder plugin and have been able to make some walls but now I'd like to do an asymmetric roof that has different slopes, 5/12 and 12/12, like a "saltbox". Is there a plug-in for roofs which will do asymmetric roof slopes, one that works like the House plug-in, where you set values for parameters?

      My unfolding is getting all weird. Not sure what's going on.

    • RE: Flattening a cone frustum

      Thanks for confirming that it works. I do have the latest and it was installed in the manner you laid out.

      What are the faces of the (hollow) cone? Do I click on the edge of each circle? On the outer face of the cone? Does the edge of the "slit" line count as a face?

    • Flattening a cone frustum

      I'm a SU newbie.

      I modeled a cone frustum (larger radius 7", smaller radius 3", height 14") by drawing a circle, and then another circle on top of it at the same centerpoint, with the smaller radius, and used the AutoFold tool to drag it up to the 14" height.

      Then I deleted the top circular face, so it was "hollow" like a lampshade.

      Then I drew a line from the edge of the smaller circular face down to the edge of the larger circular face, in effect "cutting a slit".

      Now I'm trying to unfold it out flat. I'm using Flattery but could use any other built-in tool if there is one. Nothing is happening. I select the object, index the edges, and then try to Unfold the faces, but nothing occurs.

      Thanks.
