Duplicate Roof (Slope Glazing) and Create New Roof

Wondering if this method can be applied to roof. We’re using Slope Glazing but since it doesn’t show the area, am planning to duplicate it and create a normal roof in the same place so i can generate the area.

Don’t know how to edit the phyton code

Continuing the discussion from Copy, paste in place and change to a different type with python:

If you don’t know Python then you could just do it with nodes instead.

Select all sloped glazing. Copy to the same place. Change type parameter to a basic roof. You can then get the areas and do whatever you want with them, whether that’s keep the basic roof type, send the area value into a a ‘dumb’ parameter in the sloped glazing, or generate an excel report and then delete the basic roofs afterwards.

Copy to the same place - do you know any code that i can use for this?

You could copy by vector, then use the reverse of that vector to move it back to its original position.

Manage to figure this out. Thanks all…
