The algorithm for calculating non-modular roofings such as trapezoidal sheets, roof panels or seam panels. Covering width of the sheet is defined in the parameter effective width. You can use horizontal or vertical bookmark or set as covering without bookmarks. In this case, effective width and total width must be the same, and the length of the horizontal bookmark must be 0. Depending on the parameter "Assembly" covering is installed vertically or horizontally. The length of the sheet can be limited with the parameters "Minimum length” and "Maximum length". When the length of the slope is greater than the maximum length of the sheet, the system will use two sheets vertically. When "Vertical installation" is set "from the longest", maximum sheets will be applied at the bottom and the last sheet will be tailored to the needs. For the parameter "proportionally" all the sheets vertically will have the same length. When „calculation of the amount” is set in square metres, then in „quotation method” you can decide whether the amount is to be calculated with or without bookmarks.
The method of calculating the roofing material suitable for roof tiles cut to size. Covering width of the sheet is defined in the parameter effective width. You can use horizontal or vertical bookmark or set as covering without bookmarks. In this case, effective width and total width must be the same, and the length of the horizontal bookmarks must be 0. The algorithm assumes modularity of the sheets. The length of the sheet can be limited with the parameters "Minimum length” and "Maximum length". When the length of the slope is greater than the maximum length of the sheet, the system will use two sheets vertically. When "Vertical installation" is set "from the longest", maximum sheets will be applied at the bottom and the last sheet will be tailored to the needs. For the parameter "proportionally" all the sheets vertically will have the same length. In addition, the length of the sheet is matched to the list of unavailable dimensions. If the length of the sheet is on the list of unavailable dimensions, its length will be extended to the minimum length satisfying the requirements. When „calculation of the amount” is set in square metres, then in „quotation method” you can decide whether the amount is to be calculated with or without bookmarks
The list of length ranges impossible to produce. The system will increase the length of the sheet to the next, possible to produce, length of the sheet.
29. Select "new range"
30. In the fields Dimension from/to input the range of length impossible to produce in mm
31. Select Modify
Perform these operations for 2 ranges,
32. While adding the third range "Fill ranges" will appear. It will the entire list ranging from minimum to maximum length on the basis of two previously ed ranges
The algorithm is used to calculate the flashings mounted on the edge of the slope. (ridge tiles, valley gutters, eaves flashings, etc.) Pointing to the edge of the slope, the system calculates the amount of flashings needed to finish. When defining such a product, you need to set in "amount calculation" if the result is to be in linear metres or units. If you select calculation by units, it is important to determine the effective length (covering) of flashings expressed in mm.
The algorithm is used for counting the flashings on the edges. On the slope figure you indicate for which vertices the flashings need to be calculated. You use this type, eg. for stopends, corners and others
The algorithm is used to calculate the amount of modular roof tiles to cover the roof. Covering width of the sheet is defined in the parameter effective width. In addition, you should also define the number of modules (double or single modular), the length of horizontal bookmarks in mm, and the number of waves. The last parameter is important when optimizing waste and during interlocked installation. In „Assembly” you should choose if it will be parallelly one above the other, or interlocked (like bricks in a wall). Finally, the default assembly direction and automatical waste management should be set.
We use this type of product when we want the amount to be ed in the offer by the user. Amount is not connected in any way with the design of the roof. Such products may be added in the offer tab.
Algorithm used to calculate concrete or ceramic roofing tiles. While definining product you you will asked for:
36. Min effective width - it is the width when tiles are maximally squeezed (horizontally).
37. Max effective width - it is the width when tiles are maximally streched (horizontally).
38. Min effective length - it is the length when tiles are maximally squeezed (vertically).
39. Max effective length - it is the length when tiles are maximally streched (vertically).
40. Unit weight - weight in kilograms of single tile
41. Vendor declared m2/norm - this is information from vendor, how many tiles must be put to cover each square meter. It is used only to show results comparison with system calculation.
42. Using marginal tiles - specify if hood, verge or ridge special tiles
43. Min % tiles coverage (0-always) - percent of minimum coverage, e.g. 25 means that tile will be put only if tile will cover roof in at least 25%, 0 means that tile will be put even if it cover 1% of roof area only.

Roofing will be added to all slopes. By switching slopes in a document inspector in the main window, you see the way of the sheets calculation. In RS Roofs 5 you can add more than one roofing to one roof design. In Properties, you can switch between roofings and see dimensional list for slopes.
There is a special tab with settings and functions to optimize the adaptation of material for each selected roofing in the toolbar.
5.4.1. Tab TRAPEZOIDAL SHEETS AND PANELS
Assembly:
• Way of laying sheets – place of connecting sheets when more than one sheet is needed
- From the longest - the maximum sheets, then cut to size
- Proportionally - all the sheets of the same length
- By division line – connection place is determined by the slope division line
- Vertically - Horizontally
Installation:
• The direction of installation (depending on vertical or horizontal orientation)- From left / from top - From right / from bottom
• Move- The value of moved sheets in mm - Sheets centering
Optimization:
• Rounding in mm – determines the accuracy of the length of sheet- jeśli 0 - arkusze łączone w linii, - If 0 - sheets connect in a line. Value greater than 0 causes that connecting even-numbered strips is carried out below (zip)
• • Optimize - each change of roofing parameters in sections: assembly, installation and optimization requires the use of this button. The system then calculates optimum solution again using new conditions. "All slopes" means that the parameters will be used during optimizing for all slopes. Changing this option will limit the scope of changes in the parameters to optimize only to the current slope.Results:
Actions in sheets selected in the main window
• Select – when it is on it lets you mark sheets, reduce, change positions. Marked sheets can be dragged while holding down the left mouse button. While moving the mouse to the upper or lower edge of the sheet, the cursor will change to a two-headed arrow. You can now change the length of the sheet with the mouse. You can use shortcut keys:- Ctrl+arrows – moving sheets - Shift+Up or Shift+Down– sheets enlarging and reducing
• Cutting line - a function to divide sheets. If sheets are marked, cutting will be only for marked sheets. If no sheet is marked, all sheets will be cut in lineMaterial:
• Remove material - it allows you to remove material from the offer5.4.2. Tab ROOF TILES
Assembly:
• Way of laying sheets – place of connecting sheets when more than one sheet is needed- From the longest - the maximum sheets, then cut to size - Proportionally - all the sheets of the same length

Installation:
• The direction of installation (depending on vertical or horizontal orientation)-From left / from top -From right / from bottom
Optimization:
• Assembly- parallel – connecting sheets in vertical line - interlocked installation – in an overlapping arragement (like bricks in a wall)
• Waste- not using waste – no sheets cutting - using waste – sheets from cutting are used in other places
• Optimize - each change of roofing parameters in sections: assembly, installation and optimization requires the use of this button. The system then calculates optimum solution again using new conditions.Results:
