SubcontractorHub’s AI-Assisted design tool allows sales reps to generate an accurate roofing layout in seconds. The design is fully customizable using edge tools within edit mode. Follow the steps below to use the AI-Assisted design tool.
Step 1: Create a new roofing customer, selecting “AI-Assisted- Self Design” in the “Select Design Tool” dropdown. Click “Create Proposal” to save.
Step 2: The proposal builder will open. Click “Create Design”.
Step 3: Align the customer’s roof with the crosshairs and click “Run AI Design”.
Step 4: The roofing design will be generated automatically, complete with facets and gutter lines. The pitch and azimuth values are calculated automatically as well.
Step 5: Enter “Edit Mode” to adjust your design.
Step 6: Enable the “Show facet labels” toggle to view the alphabetical labels for each facet. This toggle can also be enabled after saving a design in the roofing details page.
Step 7: Click the “Draw Facet” icon to draw a facet.
Step 8: Click to add facet points and connect them to draw the facet. Click “Done” to save.
Note: To draw a flat roof facet, enable the “Flat" toggle before drawing the facet.
Step 9: To edit the pitch of a facet, click “Facet List” and use the slide bar to adjust the value. Click “Done” to save changes.
