AppliCad Academy (self-paced)

AppliCad Academy is the online learning platform for Roof Wizard. You work through step-by-step modules at your own pace, from beginner workflows through to advanced modelling and setup.


⚙️ How AppliCad Academy works

Modules + exercises + tests

  • Training is broken into modules/levels.

  • Each section/module includes a test, and you generally can’t progress until you pass (so you’re not guessing your way through).

  • The course is designed so you can start/stop as time permits and learn from home or the office (Roof Wizard + internet connection).


📚 What you’ll learn (typical topics)

From basics to advanced

Depending on the module, training covers things like:

  • The AppliCad process: model → check → apply materials → generate proposal

  • Modelling from simple to complex roofs (incl. multi-storey, special shapes)

  • Tracing PDF plans and aerial images

  • Material setup (fasteners, panels, tiles/shingles, flashings/trim, accessories, allowances)

  • 3D walls and report/template skills (in later training)

  • Many exercises include an accompanying videos to help you follow along.


🔓 Access and what’s included

AppliCad Academy access is included with any Roof Wizard license—both monthly and annual.
