The roof design tools in the application allow you to create both standard and custom roof structures with precision. You can design a traditional gable roof by defining its shape, size, and slope using pitch settings, or create completely custom layouts using the freehand drawing method for irregular or complex building footprints. A four-point freehand option also enables you to quickly generate a rectangular roof panel that automatically attaches to existing walls, with adjustable overhang, elevation, and soffit settings. After placement, roofs can be rotated, repositioned, enclosed with gable walls, and customized with different materials and colors in 3D view.

Additional features help enhance roof functionality and architectural detail. You can add dormers with built-in windows to existing roof surfaces and adjust their size, height, and pitch as needed. The dormer cutout feature allows you to create precise roof openings to accommodate dormers. Skylights can also be placed directly onto roof panels, with customizable dimensions and trim options. Together, these tools provide complete flexibility for designing detailed, realistic, and structurally accurate roof systems.
