Planning steps - Create a roof area using the roof tool
- Draw the outline of the roof area to be equipped
- Define pitch and orientation with a single click
- Place modules using the module tool
- Cover the entire roof area with modules
- Check settings for the module field
- Check for obstructing objects and remove modules if necessary
| Planning steps - Draw the building’s floor plan with right angles
- Draw all roof edges completely
- Extrude the roof in three dimensions
- Optionally, draw areas of obstruction
- Optionally, adjust edge clearances
- Fill the remaining roof area with modules
- Check module field settings
- Optionally, manually optimize the module layout
