What it does
The coursing dimension tool inserts dimension labels onto your roof model after tiles have been installed using the coursing method. These dimensions show the measured spacing of tile courses, displaying both eave and interior measurements on your roof plan.
🧾 How coursing dimensions work
When you apply coursing dimensions, Roof Wizard automatically calculates and displays the tile course spacing measurements. The dimension text uses a placeholder system where ###E represents the eave measurement and ###I represents the interior measurement, both in millimetres.
For example, entering Coursing (Eave ###E mm / Int ###I mm) would display as Coursing (Eave 310mm / Int 349mm) on your drawing once the actual measurements are calculated.
