I don’t know, the addon still works for me. Does it show any errors? Try to uninstall the addon, restart blender and install it again.
I’m having the same problem. I installed via the zip file I just downloaded from github. Your files were installed in my addons directory, but I can find no evidence of the add-on within Blender. I’m running the 05-26-19 18:32 release.
Might it be properly installed but not appear in the Add-ons list in Preferences? Is there a log file I can check?
OK, I tried to reinstall the addon on my PC and it does not work anymore :/. I will look into this issue soon, but right now I don’t have the time to solve it.
I tried to reinstall the addon once more and it worked. I just had to restart blender in between. Before it showed me an error that it can’t find the init.py file so I changed the name of the file to init and packed it into a zip file. This might solve the problem for you as well.
You can download it here:

That doesn’t seem to be the correct way to create a Python package. The “init.py” file should be placed inside a folder, that is the Floor Board Generator add-on’s folder. You cannot place that “init.py” file directly inside the addons folders. (NOTE: the forum software doesn’t allow to display the double underscores at the beginning and at the end of “init” which should read "underscore, underscore, init, underscore, underscore, dot, py)
Anyway, I placed the Floor_Board_Generator.py file from you GitHub repository inside the addons folder (not really, I placed it inside a special folder named addons_extern, but it’s a long story) and it works fine in today’s Blender 2.80 build.
Sorry for my late response and thank you for your comment.
Here is the floorboard addon where the init file is inside a separate folder. It should work now.

updated the GitHub version to be compatible with Blender 2.80. Short article with download instructions and list with articles on my blog detailing (most) of the functionality can be found here.
enjoy,

Hi there,
I stopped using Blender few years ago because I changed my career and started web development. Now I am interested to make a little project in Python. This addon looks like a good candidate for me since it is quite old and could use some improvements and bug fixing.
I wonder however whether it is still being used today. Is it still relevant? Is there still someone using it?
I don’t want to put my effort into something which is already obsolete and can be replaced by another addon or node setup.
I have not used this addon but the first thing that came to my mind is Geometry Nodes. Looking at what the addon does it should be possible to do something similar, plus the potential of new features with Geometry Nodes.
When it comes to creating procedural geometry, Geometry nodes are the future (and present).
Hi, I always use it, it’s ultra comfortable and fast, the top for me!
Which Blender version are you using?
It used to work very well but now is crashing my blender 3.5.1 instantly.
3.4 seems to work just fine. I can confirm that 3.5 and 3.5.1 are crashing. I will try to look into this issue but I could not find any useful info in the crash log so no idea why its crashing.

Hi, were you able to solve this issue?
Unfortunately not. I know which part of the code crashes the Blender but I don’t know why. I have only very limited knowledge of Python and I fear that this is too difficult for me to tackle. Any help appreciated.

Appreciate the response, mate.
I don’t know python at all so can’t offer any help. I had to revert to 3.4 version to use it for my scene and then open the scene in 3.5.
I wonder what the issue might be. It also crashed in 3.6 for me.
Good news everyone!
The bug that crashes Blender 3.6 is now fixed thanks to @Andrej .

Awesome. Thanks a ton. Any chance this can work in 4.0? It still crashes in 4.0.
