The roof plays an important role in the structure of the structure. It not only protects the house from adverse natural phenomena, but also performs an aesthetic function, determining our perception of the appearance of the building. When designing a roof, proportions, shape and color schemes are important. When designing a structure, it is necessary to carefully work out all the details of the roof structure.
It is necessary
- - a computer;
- - Printer;
- - paper;
- - programs for the design and visualization of houses.
Instructions
Step 1
Use one of the professional computer programs to draw the roof, for example, "AutoCAD", "Archikad" or "K3-Cottage". If you intend to additionally depict the truss system in good quality, opt for the Arkon program, which is successfully used by both architects and private users.
Step 2
Install the Arkon program on your computer following the installation instructions and launch it. Use the library of functions to determine which roof type is right for you. The program makes it possible to draw a free, shed or gable roof, flat, spherical or attic with a pediment.
Step 3
If you are not satisfied with the standard types, you can try to design the roof yourself. Select the Roof Installation function, set the structure parameters in the opened dialog box and save them under a name.
Step 4
Use the Roof Editor window. Indicate the types of sides, its dimensions, dimensions of the timber and other essential characteristics. If desired, use the Animated Rotation feature to preview the finished design.
Step 5
Modify the standard shape to personalize the project. To do this, enter your values for individual ramps. Correct the dimensions of the gables, the height of the gutters, the angle of inclination of the surfaces. The results of the changes made will be displayed when you click on the "View" button.
Step 6
Click the General tab to enter the height of the attic mezzanine. On the Rafter Purlins tab, select the base options for a roof with sloped rafters to display in the figure.
Step 7
From the available set, select the characteristics of the roofing materials for the roof drawing, including texture and color.
Step 8
Save all the selected roof parameters in the program as a separate project in order to return to it if necessary to make corrections and changes. If necessary, the drawing of the future roof can be printed.
