Roof Plan Layout
CHAPTER 23 Roof Plan Layout R O D U C T I O N The design of a roof plan is considered early in the design process of a structure. The designer will often draw a preliminary roof plan to coordinate key design elements of the floor, roof, and elevations, and to project the preliminary elevations. The actual drawing of the roof plan for the working drawings can be completed once the design has been finalized. To complete the roof plan, a drafter must be familiar with the correct lines and symbols that are used to represent roofing material and the type of roof framing system to be used. This chapter will examine the lines and symbols that are used to represent the roof shape, structural materials, nonstructural materials, and dimensions. Roof framing systems discussed in this chapter include gable, hip, and Dutch hip drawings. REPRESENTING ROOF PLAN COMPONENTS The steps to complete a roof plan include representing the roof shape, representing nonstructural materials, dimensioning major components, and providing text to explain the required equipment. Each area will be explored prior to the layout of the roof plan. Structural materials that are used to build the roof will be explored in Chapter 28 and Chapter 32. ridges will need to be determined. On a rectangular structure, the ridge is usually parallel to and centered between the two longest walls. An alternative layout places the ridge centered between the two short walls of the rectangle. Figure 23-2 shows two options for placing a ridge on a rectangular shaped home and the resulting shape that would be seen when looking at the home. Several options are available for an L-shaped structure, including designs using one, two, or three ridges. Figure 23-3 shows options for the roof layout and the shapes that will result. The design that is selected will depend on the desires of the owners and the goals to be achieved. Keep in mind that the walls parallel to the ridge will be parallel to the floor level, and that the eave overhang will be useful for providing shade and protection from the weather. The walls that are perpendicular to the ridge are referred to as gable end walls. The gable end walls form a triangular wall between the top of the wall and the bottom of the roof framing. The eave at the gable end wall provides no protection to the main portion of the building envelope. RIDGE RIDGE IP EY IP H H IP IP H LL H The lines that represent the overhangs and changes in roof shape such as ridges, hips, and valleys are drawn with bold solid lines. Lines representing walls are drawn with thin dashed lines. Each can be seen in Figure 23-1. The text placed in Figure 23-1 to describe the member is not labeled because knowledgeable print readers know what each member is. When drawing a roof plan, the first step in determining the roof shape is to trace the outline of the exterior walls and all exterior support posts. Once the walls are drawn, the shape of the roof can be explored. This exploration of roof plans assumes that a gable roof is to be drawn.

The text shown in this drawing should not be placed on the roof plan; it is placed only to aid you in identifying ridges, hips, and valleys. 547 548 Architectural Drafting and Design A B C D FIGURE 232 The ridge for a rectangular shaped home is usually placed parallel to the two longest walls. Placing the ridge parallel to the two shortest walls will provide a higher ridge line. When locating the ridges of a home consisting of more than one rectangle, the easiest method to determine the shape of the roof is to trace the outline of the house and then divide the overall shape into the fewest number of boxes possible. Figure 23-4 shows two alternatives for determining the ridge locations for an irregularly shaped home. Once the structure has been broken into boxes, the ridge for each area can be located by drawing a line through the midpoint of the box. When the roof pitches are unequal or the walls are to be framed with different heights, draw a simple box similar to Figure 23-5 and represent the desired roof pitch to determine the location of the ridge. The elevation will allow you to project the ridge location to the roof plan. Once the ridges are located, the overhangs and valleys required for intersecting planes can be represented. The overhang size will be dependent on: ● ● ● ● The style of home to be designed. The roof pitch. The area of the country and the resulting natural elements. The amount of shade desired during heating and cooling cycles. For the examples in this chapter, a 24" (600 mm) overhang will be assumed for all eaves parallel to the ridge and a 12" (300 mm) overhang for eaves perpendicular to the ridge. Three guidelines need to be followed as valleys are drawn on the roof plan: ● ● A valley will generally pass through the corner of two intersecting walls. A valley will always be represented on the plan view using an angle equal to half the angle of the FIGURE 233 Common roof options for an L-shaped structure with designs using single and multiple ridges include (A) One ridge parallel to the longest wall. (B) One ridge perpendicular to the longest wall. (C) Two ridges, with the shorter ridge perpendicular to the longer ridge. (D) Two parallel ridges. ● intersecting walls. Generally this will mean that valleys will be drawn at a 45° angle. Three lines will always be required to represent the intersections of valleys, ridges, and overhangs on a roof plan. The valleys and overhangs that result from applying these guidelines are shown in Figure 23-6. Representing Varied Ridge Heights The distance between supporting walls and the pitch must be considered to determine how the roof intersections are represented on the roof plan.

When the pitches are unequal, the ridge can be located on the roof plan by projecting the ridge location from a simple section. BOX 3 BOX 4 RIDGE 3 RIDGE 4 FIGURE 234 Once the outline of the structure has been determined, draw lines to divide the home into the fewest number of boxes. With the boxes determined, the ridges for each box can be located. Draw several options and select the option that presents the most pleasing roof shape. Figure 23-7 that the shape of the roof changes dramatically as the width between the walls is changed. When one roof is taller than another, the change can be made by using a wall similar to the example on the left in Figure 23-8, or by extending the lower plane, as in the example on the right in Figure 23-8. Remember that when the pitches are equal, the wider the distances between the walls, the higher the roof. When the walls are equally spaced but not perpendicular, the valley and ridge intersection will occur along a line, as shown in Figure 23-9. With unequal distances between the supporting walls, the valleys and ridges can be drawn as shown in Figure 23-10. Making such a drawing is often a difficult procedure for an inexperienced technician. The process is simplified if you draw partial sections by the roof plan, as shown in Figure 23-11. By comparing the heights and distances in the sections, the intersections can be better visualized. Bay Projections Parallel to the Ridge If a bay is to be included on the floor plan, special consideration will be required to draw the roof covering it. Figure 23-12 shows the steps required to lay out a bay roof. The layout of the roof can be eased by squaring the walls of the bay. Lay out the line of the ridge from the hips and valleys created by the intersecting rectangles. The true hips over the bay are drawn with a line from the intersection of the roof overhangs, which extends up to the end of the ridge. Bay Projections Perpendicular to the Ridge The process for representing a bay parallel to the gable end wall is similar to the process just described for drawing the bay parallel to the ridge. Use the same layout procedure from the first two steps. Since the roof terminates at the gable end wall, erase all projection lines that extend past the line that 550 Architectural Drafting and Design 45° VARIES DISTANCE RIDGE VA L LE Y RIDGE LINE OF IMAGINARY BOX FIGURE 236 The ridges, valleys, and overhangs for a simple gable roof.

RIDGE A RIDGE B A B B A A RI DG E EY LL VA X° Another feature common to roofs is the intersection between two roof sections of different heights similar to the home in Figure 23-14. Figure 23-15 shows how an entry portico framed with a 10' (3000 mm) wall would intersect with a residence framed with walls 8' (2400 mm) high. The roof pitch must be known to determine where the intersection between the two roofs will occur. In this example a 6/12 pitch was used. At this pitch, the lower roof must extend 4' (1200 mm) before it will be 10' (3000 mm) high. A line was offset 48" (1200 mm) from the wall representing the horizontal distance.

STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 FIGURE 2312 The roof to cover a bay can be represented by drawing the outline of the bay and the desired overhangs parallel to the bay walls (Step 1). Draw construction lines to represent the roof that would be created if the bay were a rectangle. This will establish the ridge and the intersection of the ridge with the main roof (Step 2). Drawing the hips created by a rectangular bay will also establish the point where the true hips intersect the ridge. The true hips will start at the intersection of the overhangs, pass through the intersection of the bay walls, and end at the ridge (Step 3). high plate is extended to the line that was just drawn to represent where the 8' (2400 mm) roof reaches 10' (3000 mm) high. The valley between the two roofs will occur where the lines representing the higher walls intersect the line representing the horizontal distance. 4'-0" LINE OF 8'-0" HIGH PLATE FIGURE 2313 A bay placed parallel to the gable end wall is drawn using the first two steps represented in Figure 23-12. The lines for each roof feature must be erased where they intersect the wall. LINE OF 10'-0" HIGH PLATE FIGURE 2315 The slope of the roof must be known to draw the intersection between roofs built on walls of differing heights. With a 6/12 pitch, a horizontal distance of 48" (1200 mm) would be required to reach the starting height of the upper roof (6" per foot × 4' = 24" rise). By projecting the line of the upper walls to a line offset in 48" from the lower wall, the intersection of the two roof planes can be determined. A valley will be formed between the two intersecting roofs starting at the intersection of the wall and the line representing the rise. Chapter 23: Roof Plan Layout 553 Three lines will always be required to represent the intersections of hips, valleys, ridges, and overhangs on a roof plan. The valleys and overhangs that result from applying these guidelines are shown in Figure 23-16. The hips, or external corners of the roof, are drawn in a manner similar to that used to locate the ridge. The hips represent the intersection between two roof planes and are represented by a line drawn at an angle that is one-half of the angle formed between the two supporting walls. Keep in mind that the 45° line represents the intersection between two equally pitched roof planes in plan view only. This angle has nothing to do with the actual slope of the roof. The angle that represents the slope or pitch of the roof is seen only in an elevation or section of the structure. Drawing elevations and sections will be introduced in later chapters. Dutch Hip Roofs A Dutch hip roof is drawn by first drawing a hip, as shown in Figure 23-17. Once the hip is drawn, determine the location of the gable wall. The wall is A B RIDGE VA LL EY H IP 45° IP H ● RIDGE H IP ● A hip or valley will pass through the corner of two intersecting walls.

The wall is typically located 48" or 72" (1200 or 1800 mm) from the exterior wall. With the wall located, the overhang can be drawn in a manner similar to a gable roof. The overhang line will intersect the hip lines to form the outline of the Dutch hip. REPRESENTING STRUCTURAL MATERIALS The type of plan to be drawn will affect the method used to show the structural material. Many offices draw a separate roof framing plan similar to Figure 22-3 to show all framing materials. Chapter 29 explains how to represent structural members on a roof framing plan.

FIGURE 2318 Rafters or trusses can be represented on the roof plan by a thin line showing the proper direction and span, or by using a schedule. Chapter 32 will discuss drawing framing plans. If framing is to be drawn on the roof plan, the rafters or trusses can be represented as shown in Figure 23-18. REPRESENTING NONSTRUCTURAL MATERIAL Vents, chimneys, skylights, solar panels, diverters, cant strips, slope indicators, and downspouts are the most common nonstructural materials that will need to be shown on the roof plan. Vents Vents may be either placed at the ridge, at the eave, or in the gable end walls. Ridge vents can either be a continuous vent similar to Figure 23-19 or individual vents placed near the ridge. Continuous vents can be represented as seen in Figure 23-20 or merely specified in a note and not drawn on the roof plan. Individual vents should be represented on the roof plan as close to the ridge as possible, on the side of the roof that is the least visible. The size of the vent varies with each manufacturer, but an area equal to 1/300 of the attic area must be provided for ventilation. Vents can be represented on a roof plan using a 12" (300 mm) diameter circle or a 12" (300 mm) square to approximate the size of the vent. On some custom homes designed by architects, a specific manufacturer and model number may be specified. For most designs, the type of vent is represented, but the contractor determines the manufacturer, size, and model. If the exact size and type of vent are not known, most offices place a vent at approximately 10'−0" (3000 mm) on center near the ridge, and provide a note to list the coderequired minimum areas. Figure 23-20 shows how ridge vents are represented and specified. Eave vents are not shown on the roof plan, but the size and spacing FIGURE 2319 A continuous ridge can be used to eliminate the need for standard vents that project from the roof surface. Courtesy CertainTeed. should be specified in a note. Gable end wall vents are not drawn on the roof plan, but should be specified by note on the roof plan and represented and specified on the exterior elevations. This is covered in more detail in Chapter 25. Chimneys The method used to represent the chimney depends on the chimney material. Common materials include a metal chimney pipe, metal chimneys surrounded by a wood chase, and masonry chimneys. Common methods of representing chimneys can be seen in Figure 23-20. The Underwriters Laboratory standard UL-103 regulates metal chimney pipes for venting exhaust gases from solid fuel–burning appliances. If a specific manufacturer of the heating device or the chimney is not known, a note specifying the chimney to be “UL-APPROVED CLASS A CHIMNEY PIPE” will usually meet the requirements of the municipality granting the building permit. The metal chimney pipe can be represented by a 14" (350 mm) diameter circle to approximate the actual size of the chimney. The contractor will then install a chimney to meet the requirements of the manufacturer of the fuel burning appliance and the UL minimum requirements.

FIGURE 2320 Nonstructural materials shown on the roof plan include vents, chimneys, skylights, and solar panels. If the metal chimney pipe is located in an area where it will be highly visible, a chase framed with wood and covered with material to match the balance of the exterior siding is typically provided. The size of the chase is based on the size of the chimney and aesthetic requirements. Masonry chimneys can range from a minimum of 16" (400 mm) square, up to matching the size used to represent the fireplace on the floor plan. Coordinate the chimney represented on the roof plan with the size of the fireplace on the floor plan, and the size of the chimney represented on the exterior elevations. Chimneys will be further explored in Chapter 40. Skylights The location of skylights can usually be determined from their location on the floor plan. As seen in Figure 23-21, the opening in the roof for the skylight does not have to align directly with the opening in the ceiling. The skylight is connected to the ceiling by an enclosed area, called a chase or well. By adjusting the angle of the chase, the size and location of the opening in the ceiling for the skylight can be adjusted. When specifying skylights, the size and type should be specified. If the roof is to be framed with trusses, 556 Architectural Drafting and Design A B C FIGURE 2321 By altering the angle of the well (the enclosed space connecting the skylight to the ceiling), the location in the ceiling can be altered. Walls can be framed (A) perpendicular to the ceiling, (B) with one side perpendicular to both the roof and the ceiling, and (C) perpendicular to the roof framing. the locations should also be given from the outer edge of the gable end wall to the center of the skylight. Dimensions are not required if rafters are used, since they can be cut as needed to locate openings. In addition to traditional skylights, round skylights are available similar to Figure 23-22 that use a reflective, flexible tube to connect the roof opening to the ceiling. To specify a circular solar tube skylight, draw a circle that approximates the required diameter. A specification to describe the solar tube should describe the manufacturer, size, and other possible material specified by the manufacturer. If solar panels are to be represented, the size, angle, and manufacturer should be specified. Roof Drainage The amount of rainfall determines the need for gutters and downspouts. In semiarid regions, a metal strip called a diverter can be placed on the roof to route runoff on the roof from doorways. The runoff should be diverted to an area of the roof where it can FIGURE 2322 Solar tube skylights provide diffused light without requiring a straight chase to connect the roof and ceiling surfaces. drop to the ground and be adequately diverted from the foundation. In wetter regions, gutters should be provided to collect and divert the water collected by the roof. Local codes will specify if the drains must be connected to storm sewers, private drywell, or a splash block. The downspouts that bring the roof runoff to ground level can be represented by approximately a 3" (75 mm) circle or square. Care should be taken to keep downspouts out of major lines of sight. Each downspout can typically drain approximately 20' (6000 mm) of roof on each side of the downspout, allowing the downspouts to be spaced at approximately 40' (12 000 mm) intervals along the eave. This spacing can be seen in Figure 23-23. The distance between downspouts will vary depending on the amount and rate of rainfall and should be verified with local manufacturers. Common methods of showing downspouts can be seen in Figure 23-20. The saddle is a small gable built behind the chimney to divert water away from the chimney, as seen in Figure 23-24. Products that project from the roof such as skylights do not require the use of a saddle. The manufacturer of skylights provides flashing to provide a watertight intersection with the roof.

Gutters must be sloped to the downspouts, which should be placed so that no view is blocked. ● ● Material that should be specified in local notes includes the following: ● DIMENSIONS The roof plan requires very few dimensions. Typically only the overhangs and openings in the roof are dimensioned. If trusses are to be used to frame the roof, openings in the roof must be located on the roof with modular dimensions. Providing a dimension that extends from the outer edge of an exterior wall, to the center of the opening is the best way to locate roof openings. To properly locate a skylight between trusses would require an odd whole number. Using a dimension such as 21'−0" (6300 mm) will place the center of a skylight between the trusses that are 20' and 22' (6000 and 6600 mm) from the exterior of the structure. Figure 23-25 shows how dimensions are placed on the roof plan. ANNOTATION As with the other drawings, notes on the roof plan can be divided into general and local notes. General notes might include the following: Vent notes. Sheathing information. Roof covering. Eave sheathing. Pitch. ● ● ● Skylight type, size, and material. Chimney caps. Solar panel type and size.

DRAWING GABLE ROOF PLANS The following instructions are for the roof plan to accompany the residence that was drawn in Chapter 18. The plan will be drawn using a gable roof. Use construction lines for Step 1 through Step 6, which can be seen in Figure 23-26. Use the dimensions on the floor plan to determine all sizes. Locate the perimeter walls. STEP 2 Locate any supports required for covered porches. STEP 3 Locate the limits of the overhangs.

Although drawing roof plans may prove frustrating, remember that lines will always be vertical, horizontal, or at a 45° angle. Another helpful hint for drawing a hip roof is to remember that three lines are always required to represent an intersection of hips, valleys, and ridges. Use construction lines for Step 1 through Step 6. Each step can be seen in Figure 23-30. Use the dimensions on the floor plan to determine all sizes. Locate the perimeter walls.

STEP 15 Evaluate your drawing for completeness and make any minor revisions required before giving it to your instructor. STEP 13 CADD APPLICATIONS Drawing Roof Plans with CADD A roof plan can be drawn using a CADD program following procedures similar to those used for a manual drawing. The drawing can be created in the file containing the floor plan. Start by freezing all floor plan material except the exterior walls, fireplace, and skylights. Create layers to contain the roof plan using the ROOF prefix. Layer names such as ROOF WALL, ROOF LINE, ROOF OUTL, ROOF ANNO, ROOF DIMN, or layer names based on the NCS should be used to keep the roof information separate from the floor plan information and to ease plotting. Draw the outline of the residence on the ROOF WALL layer by tracing the outline of the walls on the floor plan, and then freeze the walls of the floor plan. The plan can now be completed using the appropriate step-by-step process for the required roof type. Using the OFFSET command, the lines that represent the walls can be placed to represent the roof outline. Once in the proper position, the PROPERTIES command can be used to assign the lines to the appropriate layer, and to assign the required line weight and line type. Figure 23-38 is an example of a roof plan drawn by CADD. When the roof 562 Architectural Drafting and Design CADD APPLICATIONS plan is completed, a copy can be saved as a BLOCK with a title ROOF. This drawing eventually can be inserted into and plotted with the drawing file that will contain the elevations. To ease development of the elevations of a structure, a copy of the roof plan is usually left as an overlay of the FLOOR drawing file. ■ NAIL FIRST SHEET OF ROOF SHEATHING ALONG BACK WALL W/ 8d @ 4" O.C.

Chapter 23: Roof Plan Layout 563 ROOF PLAN CHECKLIST Annotation Drawing Setup ❑ Specify post, and metal caps. ❑ Specify exterior header sizes provided by your instructor or based on the information provided in Chapter 18 and Chapter 30. ❑ Specify all openings, giving the size and location. ❑ Reference all downspouts. ❑ For ridge vents, provide 1 sq ft per 300 sq ft of attic. ❑ Make general notes per examples in this chapter. ❑ Label the plate heights if different from 8'−0". ❑ Provide a title and scale. ❑ Establish line scales and line weights fit for plotting at 1/8" = 1'−0". ❑ Use an architectural font for all text. Drawings ❑ Represent the outline of the structure with thin, dashed lines. ❑ Show all exterior support posts and exterior headers. ❑ Show roof shapes including the ridge, valleys, and hips using bold continuous lines. ❑ Show all roof openings—chimney, skylights, and saddles—as necessary. ❑ Show downspouts. ❑ Show all ridge vents. Roof Plan Layout Test Dimensions ❑ Locate skylights from the edge of the wall to the center. ❑ Dimension each overhang size. See CD for more information PROBLEMS DIRECTIONS 1. Using a print of your floor plan drawn for problems from Chapter 18, use a scale of 1/8" = 1'−0" to draw a roof plan for your house. Design a roof system appropriate for your area. Sketch the layout you will use and have it approved by your instructor prior to starting your drawing. 2. Place the plan on the same sheet as the elevations if possible. If a new sheet is required, place the drawing so that other drawings can be put on the same sheet. 3. Use the information in the roof plan checklist to complete your drawing. 4. When you have completed your drawing, turn in a copy to your instructor for evaluation. This page intentionally left blank
