Example for a "Simple Roof":
half-hipped roof with two dormers, shown by ZIMMERER-Software's "Roof Framing Plan" (measures and numeration switched off in this example)

Within ZIMMERER-Software, the following roof types are considered "simple roofs":
Flat roof, shed roof, gable roof, hipped roof, half-hipped roof and dutch hip roof (provided that all corners are right angled),
as well as these types of dormers: A-Dormer Gabled Dormer Hipped Dormer Shed Dormer Trapezoid Dormer

These "simple" roofs can be entered fast and efficiently using built in macros.

Gable&Valley-, Hip&Valley-, Gambrel-, Mansard-, porch- or winter garden roofs can be easily entered by composing predefined building blocks, where each building block is a shed roof with optional hip and valley.
