Add pitch argument to roof #5354

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. About 80% of the time, when I use roof, I then need to scale the result because I didn't want a 45 degree slope. It's not immediately obvious what scaling factor to use to get a desired slope angle. It's a PITA for each developer to have to figure out that formula and keep track of it.

Describe the solution you'd like Could we please have a pitch argument, default value 45, to have the function do that math? It's just to scale Z by tan of the desired angle, but again, not obvious to the typical user.

Describe alternatives you've considered Wrote my own roof module to keep track of the formula for this.

I think that Roof IS still Working and i would regret seeing it Leave. I need IT for my Greensand Molds.

Please don't let it fade away. It's super useful and I don't know an alternative.
