Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the TLE 10 – Technical Drafting Module on Preparing

Plan Using CAD!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed
by its Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou
Concepcion A. Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig
through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized
the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential
Learning Competencies (MELC) in developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also
aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5
Cs, namely: Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and
Character while taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box
in the body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use

this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while
allowing them to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

LO2.1.11 DRAFT ROOF PLAN

This lesson is created to help you prepare an AutoCAD layout of a good roof plan
design using the same floor plan made in the preceding lessons.

ROOF is the top covering of the uppermost part of a building or shelter which provide
protection from animals and weather, rain or snow, heat, wind and sunlight. It is the
external upper covering of a house or building. It shows the size, shape and the type
of materials that should be used in the roofing system.
 8

BASIC TYPES OF ROOFS:

Roof styles that are commonly used in the building construction are of different
types. Some of them are:
 9

TYPES OF ROOFS:

1. GABLE ROOF
A gable roof is consists of two roof sections sloping in opposite directions in such a
way that the highest horizontal edges meet to form the ridge.

2. HIP ROOFS
A Hip roof is a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls. They
commonly are used when eave-line protection is desired around the entire perimeter
of the building.

3. FLAT ROOFS
A flat roof is a roof structure which is almost level in contrast to the many types of
sloped roofs.

4. DORMER ROOF
A dormer roof is a roof structure often containing a window that projects vertically
beyond the plane of a pitched roof.

5. LEAN-TO-ROOF
Defined as a single slope roof with its upper edge adjoining a wall or a building. It is
a type of simple structure originally added to an existing building.

6. SHED TYPE ROOFS

It is a flat roof slanting in one direction. They may be used effectively when two levels
exist where additional light is needed.

7. GAMBREL ROOF
It is a roof with two slopes on each sides with the lower slope much steeper than
the upper.

8. DOME ROOF
Dome- is a hemispherical roof form.

9. BUTTERFLY ROOF
(Sometimes called V roof) is a form of roof characterized by an inversion of a standard
roof form, with two surfaces sloping down from opposing edges to a valley near the
middle of the roof.

10. MANSARD ROOF

It is a four-sided gambrel-style hip roof characterized by two slopes on each of its
sides with the lower slope, punctured by dormer windows at a steeper angle than the
upper.
 10

TECHNICAL TERMS ENCOUNTERED IN DRAFTING ROOF PLANS

 Eave - is a part of a roof that projects over a wall.

 Fascia - is a surface finish material used to cover another surface.
 Overhang - is the horizontal distance that a roof projects beyond a wall.
 Ridge - is the top edge of the roof where rafters meet.
 Ridge cap - is a wood or metal cap used for roofing at the ridge.
 Valley - is the internal angle formed by two slopes of a roof.

Below is the floor plan made in the previous lesson showing the roof lines made of
hidden lines.

Figure 1: Floor plan showing roof lines.

 11

A roof plan is one showing the outline of the roof and the major object lines
indicating ridges, valleys, hips and openings. The roof plan is not a framing plan, but
a 2D plan view of the roof.

Figure 2: Roof Plan.

SIMPLE STEPS IN MAKING THE ROOF PLAN in AUTOCAD

1. Set the Roof layer to current;
2. Change the properties of all roof lines (hidden lines - see figure #1) to
continuous lines;
3. Offset the roof line perimeter to 0.20 meter to create the space for gutter;
4. Trim the excess diagonal lines (ridges) using the gutter lines as boundaries;
5. Offset these diagonal lines (ridges) at 0.15 both sides to crate the ridge cap;
6. Create roof hatch using ANSI34 to create a rib-type effect roofing following the
arrow for the slope direction;
7. Locate the position of downspout symbols (DS) using small circle.
8. Label the roof plan.
