What it does: This feature controls how roof elements appear in your drawings, including the colour, style, and weight (thickness) of lines for ridges, valleys, and other roof features. It also manages the visual appearance of roof and wall planes.
🧾 Line Style Configuration Files
Roof Wizard uses CSV files to store your line style preferences:
File | Description | Status |
Linestyles.csv | Legacy file that stored line style settings for roof lines including ridges and valleys | No longer used - replaced by LinestylesV6.csv |
LinestylesV6.csv | Current file storing line styles (colour, style, weight) for roof lines and appearance settings for roof and wall planes | Active - configured through software interface |
🔧 How to Configure Line Styles
Go to Set-Up > Preference Settings > System Preferences
Select Set Line Styles/Plane Options
Configure your preferred settings for:
Line colour for different roof elements
Line style (solid, dashed, etc.)
Line weight (thickness)
Roof plane appearance
Wall plane appearance
Save your changes
💡 Important Notes
These settings are typically configured through the software interface rather than by editing the CSV files directly. Your preferences are automatically saved to the LinestylesV6.csv file when you make changes through the system preferences menu.
The settings affect how ridges, valleys, and other roof line elements appear in your drawings, as well as the visual styling of roof and wall planes.
