For the purposes of calculating the material requirements you should input dimensions of the roof slopes. In the system RS Roofs 5 the roof design can be entered in several ways.
1. Entering the roof design using the repository of roofs
2. Inserting typical slopes from the repository of slopes
3. Importing the roof from the program RS Roofs 4
4. Drawing a slope with the mouse
5. Entering the coordinates of the slope using the keyboard
6.Functions of slope transformations
1. Select tab Project
2. Select "Roof 1" in a document inspector
3. Select icon "Add roof from library”
4. Select roof design
5. Enter characteristic dimensions of the roof marked on drawing
6. Select OK
1. Select Roof 1 in a document inspector
2. Select icon "Add slope from library"
3. Set slope dimensions and slope inclination
4. Select OK
1. In RS Roofs 4 export the offer to XML
2. In RS Roofs 5, on the tab Design in a document inspector, select "Roof 1"
3. Then select "Import from RS Roofs 4"
4. Select created by RS Roofs 4 XML file
1. Select Slope 1 in a document inspector or add a blank slope using the "new slope"
2. Enable "Draw a shape"
3. Use a mouse to draw a slope pointing in the Cartesian coordinate system, using the left mouse button, the edge points of the slope. Holding down the SHIFT key, program helps to draw horizontal and vertical lines. CTRL key disables changing coordinates while mouse moving.
4. The status bar shows the current cursor position reflecting the position of the actual dimension of the slope expressed in the default specified measurement unit.
5. Coordinates can be inputed using keyboard on X, Y text boxrs. Holding pressed CTRL key, coordinates will not be changed by moving mouse.
6. Y coordinate is dependent on the defined inclination of the slope. If no inclination is determined, this is the actual dimension.
7. To complete editing dimensions of the slope, press the right mouse button or press the ESC key.
An unusual slope can also be introduced into the system entering the coordinates of the vertices using the keyboard.
1. For the marked slope select "Draw a slope"
2. In the application footer, in the X, Y fields, enter sequentially coordinates of the slope points approving each value by pressing ENTER
3. To complete slope edition press the ESC key
1. To perform the conversion figures (rotation or vertical or horizontal reflection) select the tab Design
2. Select the correct slope in a document inspector
3. Select the transformation function
To modify the slope you should:
1. Select the tab Project
2. Select the shape of the slope in the picture
3. Select "Shape modification"
4. Move the cursor over the point (the shape of the mouse cursor will change)
5. Holding down the left mouse button, you can change the position of the point
6. To add a new point, click on the edge of the slope.
7. To complete the modification of the points, press the right mouse button
8. The coordinates of each point can be modified in the X, Y fields below the points table.
