Important: This feature only works for a single customer with a special need for this control. It does not work for regular Roof Wizard installations.
🧾 What it does
The TIFFOPT.dat file allows you to define the size and resolution of the output TIFF file, plus control over what is displayed. This enables custom TIFF export configurations for specialised integration requirements, particularly for SAP integration scenarios.
🔧 How to create and use TIFFOPT.dat
Create a new text file named TIFFOPT.DAT
Add your configuration parameters to control image size, resolution and display options
Save the file to your preferred location (see File Location section below)
The software will automatically detect and use these settings for TIFF export
🛠 TIFFOPT.DAT file format example
A typical TIFFOPT.DAT configuration produces:
Setting | Value | Description |

Resolution | 150 DPI | Dots per inch for image quality |
Coursing display | On | Shows tile/sheet coursing lines |
Roof planes display | Off | Hides roof plane outlines |
Colour mode | Colour | Exports as colour image (not monochrome) |
Note: The exact parameter syntax and additional options available depend on your specific installation requirements. Contact support for the complete parameter list for your installation.
📁 File location options
The TIFFOPT.dat file can be placed in any of these locations - the software will automatically find it:
User folder - Recommended default location
Corp folder - For corporate-wide settings
System folder - For system-level integration
Any accessible location - Software searches all standard folders
For SAP integration scenarios, place the file in the location specified by your integration documentation.
