Roof Geometry Method |
Single Plane, Multi-plane |
Roof Geometry method |
|
Bottom Surface |
Name of Surface assigned to the Roof bottom. |
Assign surfaces in the Model panel of Roof Settings |
|
Edge Surface |
Name of the Surface assigned to the Roof edge. |
Lists the Roof’s default edge surface (as defined in its Building Material). Not listed for composite Roofs. To list all Surfaces, including custom ones and those of composite elements, use a Surface-type list (e.g. All Finishes). |
|
Top Surface |
Name of the Surface assigned to the Roof top. |
Assign surfaces in the Model panel of Roof Settings |
|
Conditional Bottom Surface Area |
Surface area of the bottom of the Roof - this area may be conditioned on a defined Calculation Rule. |
Condition: Subtracts the area of holes only if they exceed a given size, as defined in Options > Project Preferences > Calculation Units & Rules (“Reduce Roof surface by…”) Reduced by trims and SEO’s. |
|
Conditional Top Surface Area |
Surface area of the top of the Roof - this area may be conditioned on a defined Calculation Rule. |
Condition: Subtracts the area of holes only if they exceed a given size, as defined in Options > Project Preferences > Calculation Units & Rules (“Reduce Roof surface by…”) Reduced by trims and SEO’s.. |
|
Dome Connection length |
Length of edges whose Type is set to “Roof Transition - Dome” in the Custom Edge Settings dialog box. |

|
Eaves Length |
Total length of all edges whose Type is set to “Eaves,” in the Custom Edge Settings dialog box. |
|
|
End Wall Connection Length |
Total length of all edges whose Type is set to “End Wall” in the Custom Edge Settings dialog box. |
Typically, this is an edge which joins a Wall and slopes down along the Wall. |
|
Gables Length |
Total length of all edges whose Type is set to “Gable” in the Custom Edge Settings dialog box. |
|
|
Gross Surface Area of the Bottom |
Surface area of the bottom of the Roof, including the surface of any holes. |
Reduced by trims. SEO’s are ignored |
|
Gross Surface Area of the Roof Edges |
Surface area of the Roof edges, including the surface of any holes. |
Reduced by trims. SEO’s are ignored |
|
Gross Surface Area of the Top |
Surface area of the top of the Roof, including the surface of any holes. |
Reduced by trims. SEO’s are ignored |
|
Hips Length |
Length of edges whose Type is set to “Hip” in the Custom Edge Settings dialog box. |
Typically, the edge of two adjacent planes that meet as a hip |
|
Holes Surface Area |
Total surface area of all holes in the Roof. |
|
|
Hollow Connection Length |
Length of edges whose Type is set to “Roof Transition - Hollow” in the Custom Edge Settings dialog box. |
Typically, the edge of two adjacent Roof planes forming a concave angle. |
|
Net Surface Area of the Bottom |
Surface area of the bottom of the Roof |
Reduced by holes, trims and Solid Element Operations. |
|
Net Surface Area of the Edge |
Total surface of all edges of the Roof |
Reduced by holes, trims and Solid Element Operations. |
|
Net Surface Area of the Top |
Surface area of the top of the Roof |
Reduced by holes, trims and Solid Element Operations. |
|
Number of Holes |
Number of holes in the Roof |
Holes are either created in the Roof manually, or they are cut by Skylights placed in the Roof. |
|
Number of Skylights |
Number of Skylights placed into the Roof. |
|
|
Openings Surface Area |
Total surface area of all Skylights placed in the Roof. |
|
|
Peaks Length |
Length of edges whose Type is set to “Peak” in the Custom Edge Settings dialog box. |
Typically, the edge at the top end of a single-plane Roof. |
|
Pitch |
Pitch of the Roof. |
Pitch is set in the Geometry and Positioning Panel but can be customized for any Roof Plane. |
|
Ridges Length |
Length of edges whose Type is set to “Ridge” in the Custom Edge Settings dialog box. |
Typically, the edge of two adjacent Roof planes that meet to form a ridge. |
|
Roof Level |
In case of a multi-level Roof, indicates the Roof Level to which the listed Roof plane belongs. |
Roof Level numbers can be seen in the Geometry and Positioning panel of Roof Settings or the Info box. |
|
Side Wall Connection Length |
Total length of all edges whose Type is set to “Side Wall” in the Custom Edge Settings dialog box. |
Typically, a Roof edge which joins a Wall and runs along the Wall horizontally. |
|
Roof Thickness |

Thickness value is set in the Geometry and Positioning panel of Roof Settings or the Info box. (Can be displayed either as a perpendicular or vertical measure). |
|
Trimming Body |
Pivot Lines Down or Contours Down |
Set in the Model Panel of Roof Settings. Determines the geometry of the Trimming Body which acts upon other elements when they are trimmed by this Roof. |
|
