发明名称 Dormer calculator
摘要 A method is disclosed for laying out a dormer that projects outward from a main roof and has a gable end and a dormer roof originating at a dormer point and terminating at an outer edge of the dormer roof near the gabled end. The dormer includes roof sheathing supported by dormer trusses. The dormer trusses include a gable truss and a plurality of valley trusses. The method includes receiving a plurality of dormer inputs from a user. A plurality of layouts for the roof sheathing on the dormer roof are generated as a function of the dormer inputs. One or more layouts are then recommended to a user to reduce a quantity of roof sheathing waste.

主权项 1. A method for recommending a roof sheathing layout for a dormer projecting outward from a main roof, the dormer having a roof constructed from roof sheathing supported by dormer trusses, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of dormer inputs from a user, the dormer inputs including at least one of a main roof slope, a dormer slope, a gable overhang length, a gable truss height, a valley truss height, a wall sheathing thickness, an input representing the total number of dormers to be constructed, an input representing whether a rake ladder detail will be included in the dormer, an input representing the fascia thickness, a heel height, an input representing the roof sheathing thickness of the main roof, and an input indicating whether a cantilevered fascia is to be included in the dormer; generating a plurality of layouts for the roof sheathing on the dormer roof as a function of the dormer inputs, each of the plurality of layouts comprising a different roof sheathing offset distance for neighboring rows of roof sheathing; and recommending at least one roof sheathing layout to a user.
