    1. [Roof Area SQ]

    2. [Facets]

    3. [Predominant Pitch]                

      Note: The [Predominant Pitch] placeholder returns a string value (e.g., "3/12") and cannot be used on its own in formulas that require a numeric result. Ensure your formula outputs a decimal value when using string-based placeholders.
      Valid: IF([Predominant Pitch]="3/12", 10, 20)
      Invalid: [Predominant Pitch] + 5

    4. [Bends]

    5. [Eaves]

    6. [Rakes]

    7. [Ridges]

    8. [Valleys]

    9. [Hips]

    23. [Roof Area Sq Ft]

    24. [Predominant Pitch Numerator]                

      Note: Simple calculations can be useful for grouping slopes together in the mapping. For example [PitchAreaSQ(2)] + [PitchAreaSQ(3)] +[PitchAreaSQ(4)] groups all 2/12 - 4/12 pitches into one total squares.

    25. [PitchAreaSQ(x)]                

      Note: Simple calculations can be useful for grouping slopes together in the mapping. For example [PitchAreaSQ(2)] + [PitchAreaSQ(3)] +[PitchAreaSQ(4)] groups all 2/12 - 4/12 pitches into one total squares.

    26. [PitchAreaSqFt(x)]                

      Note: Simple calculations can be useful for grouping slopes together in the mapping. For example [PitchAreaSQFT(2)] + [PitchAreaSQFT(3)] +[PitchAreaSQFT(4)] groups all 2/12 - 4/12 pitches into one total square feet.
