Dormers

Sorcerer allows for many different variants of Dormers. Choose from simple hip, gable, skillion or barrel dormers as well as Valley Gables, Dutch Gables, Flying Gables and more. All are explained in the fully detailed Reference Guide.

 

Verandahs / Porchs.

Simple or Complex Verandahs. Use different pitches, heights, widths... with or without hip/gable ends. Include an underlap to create a bellcast verandah.... Countless options.

 

 

Recovery of Roof Outlines.

Stop worrying about making a mistake. Rather than re-drawing the roof, simply recover the roof outline and let the computer do the work.

 

 

Intersection of multiple roof shapes

Draw up a number of different roofs and use the intersect-roofs command to merge the roofs together and create the neccessary complex roof planes.

 

 

Multi-Hips, Turrets and Bay Windows

Easily insert multi-angled roof structures with automatic commands. Don't waste time calculating the angles when the software can do it all for you.

 

 

Curved Roofs

Insert simple curved roofs with either curved boundaries, or curved profiles.

 

 

Different Eave Heights

Use the simple barge/rake line, atrium or cut-out command to easily create multiple eave heights on complex jobs in a matter of minutes instead of hours.

 

 

9 Different Storys

Model as much as your heart desires. Up to 9 different storys can be accurately modelled.

 

 

Multiple Buildings

Whether it's a huge commercial zone or a small residential house with a "granny-flat" out the back, they are all easily modelled. Draw as many roofs as you want.

 

 

Modify Roof Shapes.

With the advanced commands and the full functionality of a 3D CAD package behind it, you can create ANY roof you want. Cut-out, trim back, divide, mirror, stretch your roof until they're perfect.
