roof Plans SECTION 6. CHAPTER 20. roof plan Components INTRODUCTION. The design of the roof must be considered long before the roof plan is drawn. The architect or designer will typically design the basic shape of the roof as the floor plan and elevations are drawn in the preliminary design stage. This does not mean that the de- signer Plans the entire structural system for the roof during the initial stages, but the general shape and type of roofing material to be used will be planned. By examining the structure in Figure , you can easily see how much impact the roof design has on the structure. Often the roof can present a larger visible surface area than the walls. In addition to aesthetic considerations, the roof can also be used to provide rigidity in a structure when wall areas are filled with glass, as seen in Figure To ensure that the roof will meet the designer's cri- teria, a roof plan is usually drawn by the drafter to provide con- struction information.
ROOF SHAPES By changing the roof pitch, the designer can change the shape of the roof. Common roof shapes include flat, shed, gable, A-frame, gambrel, hip, Dutch hip, and mansard.
