The Drainage areas window in the Drainage section is divided into two tabs.
Roof areas
Add roof area
Use Add area to create a new roof area in the tabular overview of the Drainage areas window on the Roof areas tab.
Adding roof areas in the floor plan
If you add a new roof area to a floor plan drawing using Add area, a roof area polygon is created on the DEND_DACHFLAECHE layer in addition to another table entry in the Drainage areas window on the Roof areas tab.

        Adding roof areas in the scheme
        If you add a new roof area in a scheme drawing, an additional table entry is created in the Drainage areas window on the Roof areas tab.
      - Delete roof areas
        Delete removes selected roof areas from the table overview. In addition, the associated roof area polygons are removed from the drawing in the floor plan drawing.
      - Placing drains
        The Place drains function provides you with intelligent placement routines for roof drains in floor plan drawings. Customisable default settings including plausibility checks of the value entries are made, taking individual technical specifications into account.
      - Hatching roof areas
        Provide the roof areas in a floor plan drawing with a grey hatching for an overview.
      - Overview of roof areas
        The tabular overview in the Drainage areas window on the Roof areas tab displays information on all roof areas created in the drawing.

Adding roof areas in the floor plan

If you add a new roof area to a floor plan drawing using Add area, a roof area polygon is created on the DEND_DACHFLAECHE layer in addition to another table entry in the Drainage areas window on the Roof areas tab.

The roof area polygon can consist of any form of connected line segments.

Specify the starting point of the first line segment.
Specify the end point of the first line segment.
Specify further end points starting from the last end point of a line segment.

Note:
Right-click to close the line segments to form a polygon at the starting point.
