      - 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.
        Designation column
        The Designation column in the Drainage areas window on the Roof areas tab displays the unique identifier of the roof area.
        Area column
        The Area column in the Drainage areas window on the Roof areas tab shows the total area of the individual roof areas.
        Drainage coefficient column
        The Drainage coefficient column in the Drainage areas window on the Roof areas tab shows the peak drainage coefficient C_S of the roof area.
        Target discharge column
        The QSoll column in the Drainage areas window on the Roof areas tab shows the calculated target discharge in l/s.
        Setpoint discharge Not. column
        The QSollNot. column in the Drainage areas window on the Roof areas tab displays the calculated target discharge in l/s.
        ‘Water Level’ column
        The ‘Water Level ’ column shows the water level in mm for roof surfaces without emergency drainage.
        Column Emergency water level
        The column Emergency water level in the Roof areas window on the Roof areas tab shows the water level in mm for emergency drainage.
        Maximum permissible damming height column
        The Maximum permissible accumulation height column in the Drainage areas window on the Roof areas tab shows the accumulation height in mm, which must also be taken into account for the maximum permissible surface load for the roof construction. You can adjust this dam height by entering it in the input field.

‘Water Level’ column

The ‘Water Level ’ column shows the water level in mm for roof surfaces without emergency drainage.

Select the required water depth from the drop-down menu.

Note:

For roof areas created for the first time, a default water depth of 35 mm is preset. If there are already roof areas in the table overview in the Drainage Areas window on the Roof Areas tab, the water depth of the most recently placed roof area is preset for new roof areas.

Tip:

To sort individual columns, click on the column headers in the table to sort the entries in the respective column in ascending or descending order.
