🧠 How Fall Protection works in Roof Wizard
Fall Protection is defined as a flashing item because it is typically supplied on a per foot or per metre basis.
✅ Step-by-step: Define Fall Protection as a flashing
1️⃣ Open the Flashing setup
Go to:
Set up > Flashing
When the flashing dialog box is displayed:
2️⃣ Set the Finish to “Fall Protection”
Set the Finish field to:
Fall Protection
✅ This tells the software the item is a Fall Protection item.
It could be a linear metre/foot cost for 4 plank rail, fences, scaffold, or whatever — so long as it is costed on a linear basis.
🧾 Product Code rules (don’t skip this)
As is the case with all product definitions in Roof Wizard:
The Product Code needs to be a unique code for that item
typically you would use the supplier’s code, but you could also make something up
it must contain no spaces or special characters (@#$%^&* are not allowed)
📏 Recommended flashing settings
✅ It’s recommended to:
Set the maximum length to 0
Set the estimation method to Split each run up to the maximum length
💾 Save the flashing
Once all the required information is input:
✅ Select Add
✅ Confirm it’s available in Cover selections
Now, when you go to:
Cover > Select Tile, or
Cover > Select Metal
…the Fall Protection item you defined will be available to select from the drop down box.
