Edit a roof plan

If you want to modify the information to appear on a roof plan, you can do so at any time. To do this, click on the thumbnail representing the plan you want to modify and make updates from the following four entry points:

  • Basic options

These options are accessible from the 'Plan' tab in the right-hand panel.

  • 'Dimensions' allows you to show or hide all the dimensions on the roof plan. By default, there are no dimensions, only free dimensions are affected.
  • 'Roof slopes' allows you to show or hide the roof pitch information.
  • 'Show slope in degrees (°)' allows you to choose the unit of measurement for roof pitches in percentage or degrees.
  • 'Compass rose' allows you to show or hide the compass rose on the plan.

 

  • Modify the text for roof pitches

By clicking on the value of a roof pitch, you can modify the display style:
