Adding Roof Pitch
If you are climbing on roofs and measuring the actual roof you will not need to add for pitch.
If you are measuring from the ground or measuring roof plans you will need to add for pitch.
When measuring roof plans the pitch will be noted on the plans.
When measuring from the ground you will need to know how to determine your roof pitch to add the correct amount. RoofCalcWriter will add the correct amount for pitch by clicking the Click to add roof pitch checkbox. Then select the proper pitch from the drop down list. The pitch table below lists how much is added for each pitch.
