How to create a DIY report on Roofr Mobile

1) Select the structure

  • From the job, tap Quick actions

  • Tap DIY report

  • Select the image where you have the clearest view of the structure you wish to draw

2) Square the structure

  • Pinch the screen to zoom out on the image

  • Swipe the bottom of the screen to reveal the drawing tool drawer

  • Tap the grid icon. This will provide a 90-degree grid overlay to square off your roof for drawing

  • Use the rotate icons on the bottom toolbar to square off the roof against the grid

  • Click the grid icon again to remove the grid overlay

3) Draw the structure

  • Tap the Draw tab in the bottom tool drawer

  • Draw the edges of the structure, beginning with the outer edges first

  • Tap the screen to lock in the end point of a line in the crosshair

  • Your edge lines will turn white when they are at 90 degrees and yellow when on an angle. Lines will turn blue when they are fixed into the drawing

4) Label the edges

  • Tap the Edges tab in bottom tool drawer

  • Label all of the edges on the structure by tapping the edge type in the drawer, then the corresponding line on the drawing

  • Switch labels by tapping another type in the toolbar and tap to label those line types.

💡 Be sure to correctly label each edge. The edge colour will change depending on the edge type selected.

5) Add pitch

  • Tap the Facets tab in the bottom tool drawer

  • Select the layer you wish to work on in the top left, or select ‘all’ to access any facet on the roof

  • To add pitch to an individual facet, click on the pitch value, and then click inside the facet

6) Save and download
