Crown at Roof

Roof Nui is probably the most important sketchup plugin I have downloaded yet. It is truly incredible.

Here in Florida, rafter tails are used primarily as decorative elements, because of our moist, buggy environment. Most houses here have crowns made of stone or run stucco, and the trusses are set directly on top of the tie beam to create a flat soffit at the level of the beam. With this in mind, I have two questions:

Gable Roof, Crash Crash Crash!

I am able to make hip roofs, but not gable roofs. I select the two edges, click make roof, and wham! crash! Over and over, very consistent.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

downloaded material

Hello, I bought, and installed it on my Mac Book Pro, your Instant Roof Nui for SU2014 Pro. I was really pleased with the capabilities of the plugin. Everything works perfectly. I look forward to the Italian version.
Now I wanted to extend the choice of materials, I downloaded one of your texture but I can't find the folder "Materials / Roofing" where to put the file .skm. Can you help me? Sorry for my English.

0" Eave Width Gable

Want to create a roof style that has 2' eaves at the hip lines, but has no overhang at the gable ends. When I set "eave width gable" to 0", it won't create the 2' eave at any sides.
