Mono-pitch Roof Configurator: drainage & roof

Edit Studio step 3, Drainage, and step 4, Roof, separately: downpipe, roofing, material limits, and additional rafters.

Step 3: drainage

After Dimensions comes the separate Drainage step in Studio. The front gutter profile's shape was already selected under Structure; the offered downpipe settings are edited here.

Studio step 3: drainage

The outlet's position and height are adjusted in the separate Drainage step. View with sample data.

In the standard view, drainage is within the Roof area. The following numbers 3 and 4 refer to Studio.

Select downpipe color and position

  1. Open Downpipe color and choose from the colors offered for the model variant.
  2. Under Position, select Left or Right.
  3. Check the selected side and color directly on the downpipe in the 3D scene.

Set outlet height and direction

  • Height: select Middle, Bottom, or Underground according to the planned design.
  • Direction: for an above-ground outlet height, Front or Outside is offered.
  • With Underground, the direction selection for the above-ground outlet is omitted.
  • The sketches explain the selection. Then check the specific pipe routing on the model.

Step 4: roof

After drainage, move to Roof in Studio. Here you choose roofing, additional rafters, and enabled roof accessories. Over-roof awning, under-roof awning, pleated sunshade, and lighting remain parts of this step.

Studio step 4: roof

The roof material selection is beside the design preview. View with sample data.

Select roofing

  • Depending on the model permissions, choose glass, 8 mm solar glass or 16 mm polycarbonate. Check the material thickness and the limits for the current depth on the card.
  • For a disabled material card, check the notice about the current depth or another product limit.
  • Check the actual roofing and subdivision in the 3D scene.

Roofing and material-dependent limits

The roof material selection is beside the design preview. View with sample data.

No selection shows a structure without selected roofing. A calculated price without roofing requires the corresponding company/configurator permission and a suitable pricing basis. A visible structure or missing price does not mean the design is free.

Set additional rafters

  • Choose the number of additional rafters offered for the width and model variant.
  • Check the resulting roof subdivision in the 3D model.
  • After changing the subdivision, check awning coverage and selected pleated sunshade panels again.

Additional rafters and roof panels

The number of additional roof rafters is available as a separate field; in the example, it is zero. View with sample data.

Check the roof basis

  • Drainage and downpipe routing have been checked in the third Studio step.
  • Roofing, material, and additional rafters match the plan.
  • Displayed material or dimension conflicts have been resolved.
  • Add desired roof accessories in the Roof step; then follows Extensions as step 5.
