Section 1

Treat dormers as part of the roof system

Dormers should not require a disconnected side workflow that breaks the main roof model.

  • - Keep dormer geometry tied to the roof sections and plane relationships around it.
  • - Review how openings and intersections affect the larger roof package.
  • - Preserve clarity by keeping dormer decisions in the main roof document.

Section 2

Use revisions to manage complexity

Dormer work often requires more iteration than simple roof cases.

  • - Compare revision checkpoints as dormer shape, placement, and opening assumptions evolve.
  • - Track when downstream roof outputs need regeneration.
  • - Share snapshot-based reviews before committing to final documents.

Section 3

Generate outputs from the resolved roof package

Complexity is only useful if the resulting project can still be documented clearly.

  • - Support updated plans, elevations, and material outputs after dormer changes.
  • - Keep technical documentation tied to the saved roof revision.
  • - Use redacted publish flows when the project needs public review.
