[Roof Area SQ]
[Facets]
[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[Bends]
[Eaves]
[Rakes]
[Ridges]
[Valleys]
[Hips]
[Flashing]
[Step]
[Drip Edge]
[Leak Barrier]
[Ridge Cap]
[Starter]
[Penetrations]
[Penetrations Area]
[Penetrations Perimeter]
[Suggested Waste]
[Suggested Waste Area SQ]
[Suggested Waste Area Sq Ft]
[Suggested Waste Multiplier]
[Roof Area Sq Ft]
[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.
[PitchAreaSQ(x)]
