Irregular "free-form" shapes can be modeled using the mesh tool. These items can be converted to roofs with this Add-On.
To install "Mesh To Roof" Add-On, copy "Mesh To Roof" file into your designated Add-Ons folder (typically the Add-Ons folder in the ArchiCAD 12 folder). In this case, the add-on will be automatically loaded the next time you start ArchiCAD. Alternatively, you can save the Add-On anywhere on your hard disk, and load it through the Add-On Manager (Options menu).
The new "Create Roofs from Mesh" command will appear in the "Design/Design Extras" menu by default.
The selected mesh object(s) can be transformed into grouped individual roof planes.
The individual roof planes can be deleted or edited further, their pitch can be modified, etc.
There are more editing options for the resulting surface patches than for the mesh object they originated from.
