Details on Roof drainage

In the Roof Drainage discipline, you will find functions and commands for creating a roof drainage network in the three command groups Roof Configuration, Symbols / Components and Pipes and Fittings on the Create Tab.

Roof Configuration

In the Roof Configuration command group you will find the Net Generator, which allows you to create calculable roof drainage pipe networks and have them drawn automatically in 3D.

With the Roof Assistant you can define a roof area for roof drainage and make presettings for the calculation. Depending on which assistant you are in or which drawing mode you have set, the roof assistant works in floor plan, scheme or 3D mode.

Symbols / Components

In the Symbols / Components command group, in addition to the functions and commands for inserting symbols and components, you will also find assistants for laying out roof drains and fixing technology.
