Instant Roof Pro Sketchup Plugin [DIRECT]
Creating complex, accurate roof structures in 3D modeling can be one of the most time-consuming phases of an architectural workflow. Intersecting slopes, varying overhangs, and precise rafter alignments often require hours of manual geometry editing.
Instant Roof Pro is available exclusively through the or Vali Architects’ website (not on the official Extension Warehouse as of 2025). Pricing is typically $39–$49 USD for a perpetual license. A free trial (limited to 15 days or with watermarks) is available.
The is an indispensable asset for any professional using SketchUp for architectural design. It successfully bridges the gap between SketchUp’s intuitive, free-form modeling environment and the rigid, data-driven precision required for roof design. While there is a slight learning curve to mastering the extensive list of parametric inputs, the return on investment in saved billable hours makes it a must-have extension for your design toolkit.

Not all roofs share a uniform slope. For instances where a front porch requires a shallower pitch than the main house, Instant Roof Pro allows you to select specific edges of your footprint and input independent slope values before generating the final shape. Seamless Valley Intersections
