Dear equest-users,

I am attaching two pictures of a location I am studying.

I am facing difficulties in drawing the roof in eQuest using the pitched roof section.

How can I do it?

Thank you for help,

KL

This is not a trulu complex roof energy wise. I believe you can choose a low pitch roof to accurately simulate the energy contribution.

Please see attached file. I stay in the Wizard Mode. Go to the 3rd screen entitled Building Footprint and note the option for Pitched Roof at the lower right hand corner. Check that box, a large button with 25% pitch roof will appear. Pushing this button will open another screen, where you will be able to change the pitch of the roof. to 10% (as my example has done) or any other pitch that seems appropriate. You do not have to make the roof architecturally perfect.
