Generate roof framing, sheathing, and blueprints from real building perimeters.
ZerothCAD Roof Builder helps users move from footprint to roof package with per-side pitch control, member inspection, dormers, openings, sheathing, elevations, takeoffs, and field-ready roof outputs.
Roof builder software
Define the roof from the perimeter that matters so geometry and outputs stay connected.

What this gives your team
- - Consistent design decisions
- - Faster project onboarding
- - Clearer review and approval flow
- - Better classroom and team outcomes
Section 1
Start from the footprint, not from disconnected calculators
Define the roof from the perimeter that matters so geometry and outputs stay connected.
- - Generate roof sections from real building footprints or linked deck cover layouts.
- - Mix gable, hip, shed, and asymmetric conditions within the same roof project.
- - Control per-side pitch behavior without rebuilding the whole roof from scratch.
Section 2
Inspect framing at the member level
Move past high-level roof shapes into actionable roof framing detail.
- - Inspect rafters, ridges, hips, valleys, and jacks inside the dedicated roof workspace.
- - Keep member detail tied to the latest geometry, pitch, and opening assumptions.
- - Use editable member planning to review framing intent before exporting roof documents.
Section 3
Handle dormers, openings, and sheathing in the same model
Treat the roof as a full build package instead of a narrow framing sketch.
- - Plan dormers, skylights, and service openings without switching tools.
- - Generate roof sheathing layouts and area summaries from resolved roof planes.
- - Support roof-to-deck relationships for covered deck and attached structure workflows.
Section 4
Export the outputs builders actually need
Use one roof project to support pricing, field coordination, and review handoff.
- - Generate roof plans, elevations, field packets, material lists, and cut outputs.
- - Track stale outputs whenever upstream geometry changes so documents stay trustworthy.
- - Publish redacted technical snapshots for review while protecting private project data.
