Adds highly detailed eave, fascia, and rafter tail profiles.

SketchUp allows third-party developers to create Extensions (plugins) using the Ruby API. "Verified" plugins are typically sourced from the official SketchUp Extension Warehouse or reputable developers who actively maintain their code for current SketchUp versions.

Parametric assemblies, intelligent profiling, and instant material assignment.

Here is the breakdown of the best verified roof plugins available on the Extension Warehouse.

If you are still manually drawing lines for complex roofs, you are operating at a deficit. Our verification process highlights that the modern plugin ecosystem has solved the "frozen geometry" problem. You can generate a hip roof, realize the span is too wide, adjust the span parameter, and have the ridge height adjust instantly.

: Draw the footprint of your building and select the top face.

You can modify the pitch, overhang, and framing sizes at any point in the design process.

Ensure your building footprint face is perfectly flat (on the X-Y plane) before running a plugin. Intersecting lines or stray vertices will cause generation errors.

It works perfectly with SketchUp’s native Section Cut tool and LayOut viewports.

Click "Apply" or "Generate." If using a parametric tool like Medeek, open the extension panel to adjust properties on the fly. Tips for a Smooth Workflow
