As soon as you finish drawing a roof, the program will open the Roof Assistant where you can choose the roof type. Gardens would require some "terra forming" tool to give the various elevation points of the ground, and more models of plants and trees. Currently I feel like SweetHome3D is good for flats and multi-stage flats, but not for houses. I deliberated long for which tool I would use for planning the house.
For our project the most important is creating the room dimensions of our little house. I could work without roof, but actually to get a real impression it would be important to add a roof. The Change Roof Type command actually recreates the roof from scratch.
How do you build floors in Sweet Home 3D?
Your sloped roof with the "Upright" windows (Don't know exactly, what they are called - but it's your roofs_bnl.jpg), is just what I am looking for. I have struggled making them, and I am looking at your files.. I've start to make a logical diagram for this plugin like in '70+ years. But the creation of roofs even with this tutorial is still a hard job. Then, of course, there is the Sketchup Warehouse, where you can find many roofs. Especially this model looks promising, once you dissect it.
To remove a contour point, right-click on it and select Remove Contour Point. After a roof has been created, the corresponding button in the Inspector changes its function from adding to removing. Auto roofs are designed so that they take all of the available space. This area is defined by the contour of the external walls, or the contour of the floor.

Unfortunately this plugin left YAUP category and go to Normal Plugins. Don't work as expected on complex shapes like E or round. The Roof Assistant opens up when you add a new roof, and when you run the Change Roof Type command. The Roof Assistant helps you add a standard roof to your building.
To change the roof type using the Roof Assistant, select the Change Roof Type command in the context menu of the roof. To change the shape or size of a custom roof on the floor plan, select the roof and drag one of its corner or side handles. To add a polygonal roof, activate the Roof Poly tool. Click several times on the floor plan to add corners. Double click in order to specify the position of the last corner of the polygon and deactivate the tool.

I plan to add a tool to create some roofs in a future version but sorry, this probably won't happen before months. To add a roof on the current story or above it, click the respective button in the Inspector. If it is necessary, the upper story will be added automatically. The program will open the Roof Assistant where you can choose the roof type (e.g. Gable or Mansard).
In order to replace a custom roof with an auto roof, delete the custom roof and add a new auto roof. Once a roof has been added, you can modify its properties using the Inspector. I was looking for this plugin and while i installed it , when i hit generate roof, it always creates a triangle.

I managed the part of the tutorial until page 9 where I used the "Copy as new furniture"-plugin and pasted. But I don't get the roof pasted to the walls and I don't get the triangles created like that. To convert an auto roof to a custom roof, choose Make Roof Editable from the context menu of the roof.
Custom roofs are only available in the Pro edition. Same thread as above - here is a modified roof. However, the simplicity also suffers and the geometry does no longer match, so it does not really work with the other elements.
To change the shape of the outline, you can move contour points. The program lets you add automatic and custom roofs. Both roof types can be present on the same floor. In this case, a custom roof takes the specified area, and an auto roof takes the rest. It is recommended that you use auto roofs wherever possible. You can set up the properties of a custom roof in the Inspector.
To delete an auto roof, select the story where the roof is located, and click the Remove autoroof from the current story button in the Inspector. I think to try with 3D plane approach but is not more simple. Your plugin works on the test-file, and also on a simple square house.
This means that the materials applied to the original roof will be replaced with default ones. All objects installed into the roof (e.g. windows or dormers) can disappear. The same happens when you call the Make Roof Editable command. You should, therefore, use these commands as early in your workflow as possible.
As I've already say, I will try another approach . A paid version available on the Mac App Store, sandboxed, automatically updated and bundled with 1500 pieces of furniture and 418 textures. A free version available at SourceForge.net bundled with 100 pieces of furniture and 26 textures. Try to fix a bug which prevent loading plugin on some OS with global language settings other than en_US. It's my fault to forget to add this license but I'll fix it in next version IF I will still use it.
