Instant Roof Pro Plugin -

Includes a utility to clean up and fix geometry imported from other CAD programs, ensuring it is ready for roof generation. How to Use the Plugin

In standard SketchUp, building a complex roof involves a "masochistic" process of intersecting planes, manually calculating pitches, and meticulously drawing eaves and fascia. Instant Roof Pro flips this logic. By simply selecting a face and specific edges, a user can generate a fully realized roof—complete with gables, hips, or sheds—in approximately three seconds.

Beyond the surface, it can generate full roof framing members, including rafters, beams, hips, and decorative trusses.

For professionals working in SketchUp, represents a significant return on investment. It turns one of the most labor-intensive parts of architectural modeling into one of the easiest, freeing up designers to focus on the creative and functional aspects of their projects rather than the mechanics of geometry.

Instant Roof Pro does not just create a "shell." It generates the internal structure often required for construction documentation, including:

: The plugin comes with professional presets, such as "California Ranch," but allows users to create and save their own custom style libraries.

Unlike basic geometry scripts, Instant Roof Pro comes pre-loaded with a library of textures. Roofs can be generated with realistic asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, clay tiles, cedar shakes, or slate. The plugin automatically maps these textures correctly onto the geometry, creating an instantly photorealistic look without manual UV mapping.
