Once your roof is drawn, Cedreo instantly generates roof plans for your projects.
Simple Roofs, Done Automatically
- Place roofs with automatic detection: Just choose the roof type (hip, gable, shed, or flat) and Cedreo applies it to the selected level.
- Simplify valleys: When adding two gable roofs to an L‑shaped house, simply check a box to confirm the valley.
- Add gutters: Apply them to the entire roof with one click or to a single slope. Choose from a wide range of finishes.
- Position downspouts and rainwater boxes, then choose the style and color that fit your project.
Fine‑Tune Settings for Full Customization
- Adjust flat roof settings: Define the base height, as well as parapet height and width.
- Adjust sloped roof settings: Set base height, roof angle in degrees or slope in %, and define roof thickness with insulation options.
- Customize ridges, overhangs, and soffits: Adjust every detail.– Choose roofing materials: Access a wide library of tiles, slate, metal roofing, shingles, gravel, or even green roofs.
Roof Openings
- Add dormers and gable vents: choose from several types (gabled, hipped, shed). Cedreo automatically detects slopes suitable for dormers, and you can swap openings as needed.
