:: Satellite: Flat Roof - How To
1. Acquire a satellite
or aerial image of the building from a service like Pictometry, Google Earth or
Virtual Earth. Load the image it into RoofCAD and set the scale.
2. Draw the roof
outline by clicking the corners of the roof.
3. Use our built
in library of roofing symbols to add things like skylights.
4. Print the drawing
and take it on site to verify dimensions and roof top objects.
5. Now you can add
the finishing touches. First you update the drawing from the site dimensions. The
length of a single wall is enough to update the entire drawing with our unique "Rescale"
feature. After that you add all the roof top objects, like drains, curbs etc.
6. Finally you polish
the drawing by applying one of the predefined legends supplied with the system.
If you also have a RoofCAD license you can further enhance your drawing with photos,
details, arrows and text.
You're Done!
Now you have a completed
proposal drawing and takeoff record. The takeoff record looks like this:
