Drawing Roofs
Updated by Lance Reeves
A good estimate starts with a good takeoff. XactRemodel Studio helps you capture those dimensions and make them usable as you build an estimate.
Get started with a floor plan by drawing a roof.
Creating roofs
Roofs are created by drawing an entire roof at once using the Roof tool. New roofs can be attached to existing roofs, or stand separately.
