How to Install Instant Roof Pro SketchUp Plugin
To install Instant Roof Pro, you need to download the plugin file from the Vali Architects website[^1^] or the SketchUcation Plugin Store[^2^]. The file is named InstantRoof.rbz and it is compatible with SketchUp 2016 or later. Once you have downloaded the file, follow these steps:



Open SketchUp and go to Window > Extension Manager.
Click on Install Extension and browse to the location where you saved the InstantRoof.rbz file.
Select the file and click OK.
Restart SketchUp to activate the plugin.

You should now see a new menu item called Instant Roof in the Plugins menu. You can also access the plugin tools from the toolbar that appears on the screen.


How to Use Instant Roof Pro SketchUp Plugin
To use Instant Roof Pro, you need to have a face that represents the base of your roof. You can draw it yourself or use an existing model. Then, you can select the face and choose Plugins > Instant Roof > Make Roof. This will open a dialog box where you can choose from different roof styles, such as California Ranch, Gable, Hip, Shed, etc. You can also adjust various parameters, such as slope, eave length, fascia height, rafter spacing, etc. You can preview the roof before applying it by clicking on Preview.


If you want to create a gable on one or more sides of your roof, you need to select an edge in addition to the face before running the plugin. This will tell the plugin where to draw a gable. You can select multiple edges to create multiple gables. Similarly, if you want to create a shed on one or more sides of your roof, you need to select three edges before running the plugin. This will tell the plugin where to draw a shed.


The plugin can handle complex roof shapes and forms with ease. You can also create roof details, such as mission tile, shingles, standing seam and sheet metal. To do this, you need to select a roof face and choose Plugins > Instant Roof > Add Detail. This will open another dialog box where you can choose from different detail types and adjust their parameters.
