The fall protection feature allows you to apply custom fall barriers to roof perimeters or any other lines in your project. This is essential for meeting safety requirements and building codes.
Menu Path
Cover > Fall Protection
🧾 Before you start
Fall protection items must first be defined using the Set-up > Flashing command, with the Finish set to "Fall Protection".
🔧 Auto-application method
For automatic fall protection application across your entire job:
Go to Cover > Select-Tile or Cover > Select-Metal
Click the arrow at the end of the Fall Protection field
Select your pre-defined fall protection item from the dropdown
Set the FP Height (height of any perimeter line above the construction plane)
The selected fall protection will be automatically added to all edges above the FP Height
When you select a fall protection item and set the FP Height, the system adds the fall protection to all perimeter lines that meet the height criteria.
🛠 Manual application method
For greater control or when you need multiple fall protection types due to building codes or practical requirements:
Go to Cover > Fall Protection
Select your desired fall protection type
Choose the specific lines where you want it applied
Repeat for additional fall protection types as needed
You may select up to three different fall protection items in a single job – for example, side netting, two rail fence and 3 plank scaffold – and these must be added one at a time, selecting each line that each is applied to when prompted.
🔧 Fall Protection commands
Command | Description |
Apply | Apply fall protection to selected lines. After choosing a fall protection type, select all lines where it should be applied. |
Remove | Select lines with existing fall protection and remove it. |
Show | Highlight all lines that currently have fall protection applied. |
💡 When to use each method
Auto-application: Use when you need consistent fall protection across all qualifying edges with the same height requirements.
Manual application: Use when you need different types of fall protection on different areas, or when building codes require specific arrangements.
⚠️ Important notes
In both the auto-application and manual methods, fall protection is only applied to edges that are above the FP Height setting. You can nominate which additional lines require fall protection and which lines may not need it during the selection process.
