Roofs are often the most complicated part of house building, and many players struggle with them.
Here are some concrete suggestions on how the roof system could be improved:
1. More Roof Shapes & Types
- Round Roofs – e.g., domes, barrel roofs, or round roofs for modern or playful architectural styles.
- Pentagonal & Polygonal Roofs – ideal for pavilions or special building shapes.
- Sloped and Curved Roofs – to make houses look more natural and varied.
- Flat Roof + Add-ons – for modern architectures.
2. Flexible Connection Options
- Automatically adjust roofs to house walls, even with irregular floor plans.
- Snap Function that neatly connects roof surfaces without gaps or uneven edges.
- Option to merge or round roof edges.
3. Pre-made Roof Sets
- Templates like: classic gable roof, hipped roof, barrel roof, round dome, etc.
- One click = automatic placement on the house.
- Ability to adjust details like pitch, overhang, or color afterward.
- Ideal for beginners or quick building projects.
4. Intuitive Controls
- Simple slider for roof pitch instead of complicated tools.
- Real-time preview of how the roof looks on the house.
- Automatic adjustment to wall height and shape.
5. Advanced Customization
- Decorative elements like skylights, dormers, chimneys, solar panels.
