Quick Roof

This guide explores Easy PV’s design mode “Quick Roof”, and the various tools at your disposal to create precise and complex roof designs.

Click anywhere on the roof to get the editing points to show. Clicking and dragging the white corner points allow you to resize your roof.

Selecting one of the corner points will bring up three options:

Fixed corner angle: the angle of the corner will stay the same when you move it (see right).

Free corner angle: allows you to click and drag the corner to any angle (see bottom right)

Delete corner: this removes the corner, e.g. it would turn a rectangular roof into a triangle

Add corners by dragging the orange points:

Clicking and dragging the orange points allows you to add extra roof edges to the roof. This is great for creating unusually shaped roofs.

Edit via the white rectangles:

The white rectangle icons on each side allow you to amend the width / height of the roof.

If you click on the white rectangle, it gives you two options:

Elongates the whole roof (see right)

Creates a new set of corners: drags the selected roof edge out, but staying parallel to the adjacent white points (see bottom right)
