    Flat roofs are defined as having a slope below 7 degrees. Common mistakes in CAD drawings include using the tilt of solar panels to indicate roof slope rather than measuring the actual roof surface. To identify a flat roof, look for terms like "flat roof" in CAD drawings, rolled or membrane roofing materials shown rather than shingles, tilt legs, or a measured slope below 7 degrees based on site surveys and drawings. If there is a discrepancy, contact the client for clarification.

    Flat Roofs

    Defined as anything
    below a 7 degree slope
    Common CAD Mistakes
    A lot of the times the CAD designer will use the tilt of the module or panel as the roof tilt.

    It’s our job to identify and clarify this with the customer.
    How to know if it’s a flat roof?
    ● CAD calls out flat roof
    ● You see any of the following as roofing material
    ○ Rolled Roofing Panels are not parallel to the
    ○ Rolled Composition roof surface
    ○ Membrane Roofing
    ○ Tar & Gravel Roofing
    ● You see a tilt leg (but be careful as this may also be a reverse tilt system)

    ● Slope is below 7 degrees


    ● The site survey photos and/or drawings show a flat roof

    Parapet (a wall extending past the roof surface)
