Automatic Snap on Points
When I am trying to draw the roof the line wants to snap to a point, I assume based on the roof being square. The problem is that as long as we are using pictures to draw the lines the roofs will never be square do the angle from which the picture is taken, but it usually works out in the averages.
PROBLEM:
Sometimes I can not put the point where I want it because the automatic snap won't let me.
SOLUTION:
1) Give me the ability to turn off the automatic positioning.
2) Let me get closer to the…1 voteYou can now disable the “Snap-to” feature on the drawing tool by holding the shift key on your keyboard.
This will allow you to place points exactly where you need them, not just at 90 degree angles to other points.
Please note that this function is only supported on desktop for now. We will look to implement something similar for mobile drawing.

Delete All button on drawing tool
This function would allow a user to completely erase the drawing with one click, rather than mashing the Undo button.

If ever you Clear All by accident, you can undo to recover your drawing.

Identify penetrations in the drawing tool
This feature would allow you to identify "penetrations" such as a chimney or skylight from the drawing tool.
This would exclude those sections from the SQ count, and help Liz to identify Apron & Step flashings automatically.
As a later improvement, Ice & Water could also be applied automatically at the perimeter of these penetrations.
1 voteYou can now identify a surface as a penetration.
Trace out the perimeter of the penetration, then select Define Penetration and choose from skylight, chimney or “other penetration”.
This data will display on the roof report PDF

blue print measuring uploading blueprint
is there anyway to upload an image and measure it? for example blueprints
There are a lot of programs for measuring blue prints, but I have not found any that are roof specific
I dont see it being too hard to make that available on roofgraf since most of the tech is already there, instead you'll measure an uploaded image instead of a satellite image1 voteThis functionality is currently supported.
When creating a new roof report, after entering the project location, you’ll see an Adjust Your Image window appear.
From here, select the “Upload my own imagery” option.
We support PNG or JPEG, with a maximum file size of 20 MB.
Once you’ve uploaded the image file, select Measure Myself to proceed to the measuring tool.From there, trace the lines of the roof as normal, then use the Edit Length tool to scale the image.
Be sure to enter the length of an eave or ridge, so that the pitch does not affect the scaling.
Please be advised that Liz will not work in these cases, you will need to enter the pitch and identify the line types manually.

Support multiple types of flashing (in Drawing & Templates)
As a roofer, I would like to be able to label multiple types of flashing in my drawing. I would also like this measurement data to provide a quantity of lengths required for each type of flashing.
Accordingly, I would also like to be able to add multiple types of flashing to my Templates.
5 votesRoofgraf now supports Step & Apron Flashing as separate catalog items and line types on the roof report.

Be able to remove the type of a line
When a User adds a line incorrectly and has labelled the line type, they should be able to remove the line type (to negate this "false" line impacting on the proposal). At present, the User would need to restart the drawing in order to correct the error, and this is time-consuming.
3 votesThere is now an option in the menu on the drawing tool titled “Remove Line Type”.
Select this option and then click on the unwanted line.
This line will still appear on the screen, but will have no impact on your measurement data.

You can now use the Delete Line function on the drawing tool to remove unwanted lines.
Be advised, this function will only work for deleting lines that are not at the perimeter of the roof, and that would not leave an “open end” in the drawing (all lines must be connected to at least one other line).
