Hi Guys! I have to do a rendering of an old town, so I made a script thats draws my roofs (arround 400-500). It partially works as it should. But there are a few problems which I dont understand. Basically I repoduce the process which is shown here: https://geometrie.uibk.ac.at/elearning/dachausmi…

Hey Joel, well its not the most robust way to generate it. I had some troubles with it. Is your buidling polygonal or rectangular? If it is rectangular you can create the sattle roof way easier. I think its necessary to emphasize that the sand dune approach is perfect for non-rectangular buildings…

Thank you for the quick answer. I am looking for a script for gable roofs on polygonal (L-shaped, U-shaped) buildings. Maybe I have to go through the sand dunes script again to see what is possible with it.

You’re looking for the sand dunes script iteration that allows variable angles. You can set the gable angle to 90 and leave the others to default and you should get a hip roof on all faces with the exception of the gable face. Does that make sense?

This one was working for simple geometry [image] Old Town Roofs Grasshopper The link is here. But here is the file sand_dune_csharp_RH5_LEGACY.gh (18.0 KB) [image] sand_dune_csharp_RH5_different_angles.gh (28.1 KB) I also did a multiple angles roof generator

The tool is now in Nautilus plugin and it accepts curves in whatever plane you want. [image] Nautilus plugin Plug Ins Hello @Mahdiyar version 0.9.4 is out on Package Manager for the moment. I changed some of the inputs that were Path by inputs allowing Paths,…

Hi Laurent, Have you seen this approach for constructing roofs that have variable-sloped faces? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010448517301240 Unfortunately, I can’t make much use of that article… I know that many Rhino and VisualARQ users would benefit from having a high-qua…

I’ve looked at all the roof solutions I could find relating to Grasshopper and @laurent_delrie’s code is what I have settled on as it yields the best results. But, as this article points out, roof conditions like gable ends, dormers, flat tops, or varying heights from a single height input profile/…

Thanks a lot! This works pretty good! Can I somehow use the color Gradient to define an angle? Like green roof and lila roof 90 degrees, rest 35 degrees. That would be quite practical. But otherwise amazing work!
