  • Hi Vilmantas,


    in project data programme, go to "4-3 roof tiles". In the tree structure you can add a new manufacturer, new tile types and all the functional tiles for one tile type. It is necessary to have at least the following functional tiles set up: Full, Left verge full, Right verge full, Ridge 1. For each functional type (full, half, verge etc) you need the exact measurements, that you can get from the product description of the tile manufacturer. After entering the tile measurement you need to enter the minimum and maximum batten distance for the different roof pitches, that you also get from the product description of the tile manufacturer. Please take a look at the existing tiles to see what entries are necessary and which are not necessary. When all the necessary data is entered, you can use the tile in roof calculation and in profile.


    Best regards,
