Instant Roof — Pro Rbz
Use a trowel, putty knife, or stiff brush to scoop the heavy-bodied compound. Apply a layer roughly 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick over the damaged area, feathering the edges outward past the leak point. Step 3: Inspection
Easily adjust pitches, overhangs, and roof thicknesses in real-time.
You are not restricted to just a few, rigid designs. The plugin allows for customization of the "sub-parts" of the roof, such as defining specific eaves and fascia materials. How to Install and Use Instant Roof Pro (.rbz) instant roof pro rbz
While Instant Roof Pro RBZ is formulated to work in less-than-ideal conditions, proper application technique ensures the longest-lasting seal. Step 1: Preparation
Open the Instant Roof Pro menu and select a style from the library (e.g., "California Hip" or "Simple Gable"). Use a trowel, putty knife, or stiff brush

is an automated, highly efficient roof generation extension developed by Chuck Vali of Vali Architects for Trimble SketchUp . Distributed as a packaged .rbz file archive, this industry-standard extension enables architects, urban planners, and 3D visualizers to completely bypass time-consuming, manual geometric path-following or "autofold" roof building techniques. By using the instant roof pro rbz file via SketchUp’s Extension Manager, users can instantly transform flat, multi-edge faces into intricate, structurally complex 3D roofs with realistic rafters, eaves, shingles, and framing in seconds.

If the RBZ refers to a pre-cut ridge line, be careful. On steep pitches or irregular roof lines, the pre-scored line might not align perfectly with your peak. You still might need to hand-cut, negating the time saving.
Beyond geometry, Instant Roof Pro applies realistic textures. It can automatically map roof tiles, shingles, and metal sheeting to the surfaces it creates. The plugin adjusts the texture scaling based on the roof pitch, ensuring the tiles look correct regardless of the angle.
Designed specifically for SketchUp, it integrates perfectly into the modeling workflow.
