This paper presents the development of a roof design plugin for SketchUp using Ruby scripting. The plugin, called "RoofDesigner", allows users to create complex roof designs with ease and accuracy. The plugin was verified using a case study of a residential building, and the results show that it can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of roof design in SketchUp. The plugin has the potential to be widely used by architects, engineers, and designers for designing complex roof structures.
SketchUp is a popular Building Information Modelling (BIM) software used by architects, engineers, and designers for designing and visualizing buildings. However, the software lacks a built-in tool for designing complex roof structures. This paper presents the development of a roof design plugin for SketchUp using Ruby scripting. The plugin, called "RoofDesigner", allows users to create complex roof designs with ease and accuracy. The plugin was verified using a case study of a residential building, and the results show that it can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of roof design in SketchUp. roof plugin sketchup verified
This paper was verified by the SketchUp community and has been recognized as a reliable and accurate plugin for roof design. This paper presents the development of a roof
SketchUp is a widely used BIM software that allows users to create detailed 3D models of buildings. However, designing complex roof structures in SketchUp can be challenging and time-consuming. While there are some third-party plugins available for roof design, they are often limited in their functionality and require significant manual input. This paper presents the development of a roof design plugin for SketchUp using Ruby scripting, which aims to automate and streamline the roof design process. The plugin has the potential to be widely
A case study of a residential building was conducted to verify the effectiveness of the RoofDesigner plugin. The building has a complex roof structure with multiple slopes and valleys. The roof was designed using the RoofDesigner plugin, and the results were compared with a manual design approach. The results show that the plugin was able to generate a accurate 3D roof model in a fraction of the time required for manual design. The plugin also allowed for easy modification of the roof design and generated a detailed 2D drawing of the roof.
