Roof Wizard
The products when your primary roof system is metal
The Roof Wizard software provides roof material estimators with a complete suite of tools for roof modelling, estimating and presentation in three dimensions - especially suited to Metal roofing.
Roof Wizard - Advanced software for metal roof modelling, estimation, presentation and installation.
Roof Wizard is a roof estimation system based around a graphical design software package. It allows for the complete manipulation of roof designs with simple mouse operated commands, cover material and type description of every manufacturer may be set up, and customisation of quotation report forms is standard.
Why Roof Wizard?
Roof Wizard represents the latest and most powerful software currently
available for roof modelling and estimating - SUITABLE ALL METAL ROOFING.
The software features automatic roof modelling in full 3D, calculates all
material and labour quantities, optimises sheet and off-cut usage and inserts
information into any one of seven pre-defined reports.
The benefits
Roof Wizards is a breeze to learn. In fact you could be up and
running after just a few hours, thanks to picture menus and text menus
that use terms that you currently use - no computer jargon. Roof Wizard
allows the operator to try many different options, and select the best
roof arrangement; it provides fast and accurate quotation; input is via
simple point and click with a mouse; all forms are automatically filled
out and printed; graphical display for fast, accurate roof input.
Roof Wizard allows the operator to setup definition files for all roofing materials from many manufacturers and estimated in the one simple system.
Full job cost breakdown
Total roof area, total length of ridge, hips, valleys and gable
ends. All the variables are accounted for: sarking, caps, special finish,
fixer's rates etc. Separate report forms for client, accounts, fixer and
job supervisor.
Fully dimensioned 3D representation of any roof shape - multi-hips, skillion, gables, dormers, dutch gables, verandahs, atriums and two storey. All fixtures and fittings required by the roof plumber such as flashings, downpipes, clips and screws are also accounted for in the estimate. All this is completed in metric or feet and inches (not decimal feet).
Linear Nesting of Off-cuts
The software will, taking account of relatively minor, but none-the-less
quite significant criteria such as - batten thickness, sheet lap direction
and lap distance, gutter overh ang and 'cribbage' around the valleys and
ridge - automatically lay panels on the roof and produces a set of working
drawings that combines all off-cuts with required panels.
This process we have called 'Linear Nesting' as it provides us with nested sheets as they might come off a roll forming machine. Indeed, part of the output file includes a generic output we call the 'Piece Coordinate' file which describes the nested sheet geometry. This file is an ASCII text file that may be used by any third party technology. A company associated with AppliCad Australia is currently testing a prototype marking unit that can be fitted to just about any existing roll forming machine.
AppliCad and Swenson Shear
Partner AppliCad with a Swenson Shear portable pivot shear and see the huge savings possible by reducing material waste, improving installer efficiency and making your workplace safer.
AppliCad's Roof Wizard generates the cutting details for every single panel, taking account of lap side and direction of lay. A detailed set of reports is produced to guide the installers. They know how big and at what angle each panel is to be cut, and where on the roof plan that panel is to installed. No errors and absolutely minimum waste.
These portable hand shears save significant time over alternative methods of jobsite panel shearing and leave a straight, clean edge. These hand operated cutters are easily moved between job sites. Models are available for shearing hips and valleys at any roof slope. Replacement blades are available for hundreds of panel profiles and can be changed in 10 minutes or less. Shear exposed fastener, snap lock, standing seam, sheet metal, shingles, siding, soffit, metal tile or sheets of plastic, vinyl, fiberglass, stainless steel as well as other materials. This method is much faster than using a nibbler and leaves a much cleaner edge than a metal cutting saw blade.
