Can Roof Wizard handle complex roof designs like dormers, split gables, and curved rooflines?

Yes. Roof Wizard is built for complex roofs - dormers, split gables, Dutch gables, atriums, box gutters, verandahs, and curved/barrel roofs - so you can model accurately in 3D before generating takeoffs.

βœ… Yes - complex roofs are a core strength

Built from a verified 3D model

Roof Wizard typically starts with a standard hip/valley style roof and lets you add architectural features on top. The more complex the roof, the more value you get from being able to verify the 3D model before you estimate.


🧩 Common complex features Roof Wizard can model

Roof shape changes and add-ons

You can model features such as:

  • Dormers (including hip/valley dormer variations)

  • Dutch gables and split gables

  • Gable-to-hip and hip-to-gable conversions

  • Atriums and box gutters

  • Drop eaves and extended barges/rakes

  • Verandahs/porches


πŸŒ€ Curved and specialty roof forms

Barrel vaults and more

  • Curved rooflines / barrel vaults can be handled as their own roof form

  • Flat or single-slope (skillion/shed) roofs are also supported (often handled as a separate roof type/workflow)


πŸ–±οΈ Fast modelling (the software handles the geometry)

Feature tools do the heavy lifting

Many of these features are added using dedicated tools - often as simple as selecting/double-clicking the relevant line or edge - then Roof Wizard builds the geometry for you.


βœ… Why this matters for takeoffs

Better model = better estimate

Because quantities come from the 3D model, being able to build and visually check complex geometry helps you produce more reliable, defensible takeoffs -especially on cut-up roofs with lots of intersections and details.
