Hello All
If someone has programming experience and still wishes to create a Roofs plugin, attached are 40 Icon images of different Roof Types + 40 Palettes with detailed Roof Plan / Cross-section (Each dimension is assigned a Letter). Next step would be import into Eclipse and create a general gallery using the 40 icons, each of which would open a Dialogue containing a palette with Roof type.
What is needed, to add Numerical fields for each letter which correspond to a dimension to build the Roof using SH3D entities. I believe Roofs could be created independently from plan and just "placed" on top when finished.
Any thoughts are welcomed.
(I would've created at least the Java Dialogues myself if I had the knowledge) !
Cheers
Roofs seem to be a tricky area with many/most homes merging different stylistic approaches. I tend to construct a roof storey by grouping primitives such as pyramids, prisms and slabs.
A furniture collection of roof shape primitives might be a good start. That would not required programming, only 3d modelling. It might even be useful for shaking out requirements for some future plugin.
Perhaps raising this in the sweethome3d forums might generate some ideas/contributions.
See https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/d-models/257/ for a roof furniture catalog, found it via: http://www.sweethome3d.com/support/forum/viewthread_thread,10671#49819
Complete Eclipse Project - GUI for Roof Maker Plugin
( Gui ONLY - still needs Programming of functionality if anyone is interested ! )
Any modifications / improvements needed just post a message :-)

Just Needs modification/tool that can generate roofing Automatically in 3D view after generating the floor plan
