Before Instant Roof Pro: Drawing a roof involves drawing sloped lines, using the "Rotate" tool on edges, manually intersecting faces with "Solid Tools," and cleaning up stray geometry. A moderately complex L-shaped house could take 20–30 minutes.
Using Instant Roof Pro is highly intuitive, relying on standard SketchUp selection techniques. Step 1: Prepare the Footprint
Instant Roof Pro is a premium extension designed specifically for Trimble SketchUp. It transforms flat, 2D faces or closed loops of edges into fully realized, 3D roof structures. Input your desired slope (e
Manual modeling allows for total customization but is extremely slow. Instant Roof Pro bridges the gap between speed and quality. Installation and Pricing
Manually texturing a hip roof in SketchUp usually results in stretched or misaligned textures at the valleys. Instant Roof Pro maps materials along the true slope of each individual roof plane. Whether you are using a default SketchUp texture or a high-resolution PBR material, the shingles or metal seams will run perfectly parallel to the eaves. Pricing and Licensing
Every element of the generated roof can be adjusted down to the millimeter. Users can customize: Use the native SketchUp "Close Gaps" plugin or
The script handles increased complexity with ease, often generating detailed forms in just a few seconds. Advanced Customization and Detailing
