| Feature | Batzal Roof Designer | Native AEC Roof | Manual Poly Modeling | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Parametric editing | Yes (fully adjustable) | Limited | No | | Dormer creation | Automatic cutting/building | Manual Booleans | Extremely slow | | Texture mapping | Automatic per-face | Manual | Manual | | Framing generation | Yes (rafters, trusses) | No | No | | Learning curve | Low (2 hrs) | Medium | High | | Max 2020 stability | Excellent | Native | N/A |
The real power of Batzal Roof Designer for Max 2020 lies in manipulating edge types.
Upon generation, Batzal automatically assigns Material IDs to different roof components: tiles, fascia boards, soffits, and ridge caps. This allows for hyper-realistic texturing in Substance or Corona Renderer without manual selection.
Let’s not sugarcoat it. The original Batzal Roof Designer (often hosted on now-defunct script sites) was built on legacy MaxScript architecture. Attempting to force-install it on 2020 usually results in:
You can try running the script in Legacy Viewport mode, but don’t expect stability.
