Arch roof error

[TheBrick]

Hi,
I am trying to put a roof in arch work bench. Initially I am trying a lean to roof but will require a hipped roof.

I have completed a wire (Roof wire) in my sketch that follows the top of the walls I have modelled. I have also tried constraining to the XY plane if that makes a difference but each time I get this error. I know this feature is still in development but I've seen a video of it working on much more complicated roof.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Thanks

There are some bugs in the V0.18 version of Arch_Roof. So you should upgrade to V0.19.
The attached file was modified in V0.19.

The base wire for a roof should be plane-parallel to the global XY plane.

And there is no need to draw the triangular tops of the facades.
The roof can be subtracted from the walls with Arch_Remove.

I do not know how the hipped roof portion will look, but you may have to create the roof in two parts with a separate roof for the lean-to.

Thanks I'll take a look at your file and try V19. I kept with 18 just because it was latest stable.
