Roof geometry workbench

Measure the slope. See the working.

Convert roof pitch, solve right triangles and estimate surface area with figures you can follow—no account and no black box.

RF / PITCH—01rgw-core 0.2.0

Live calculator

Rise + run → pitch

Both measurements convert together when the unit changes. The pitch ratio itself is unit-independent.

Connected tools

Start with what you know.

Convert pitch, solve the triangle, calculate supported area, then carry checked geometry into a material or multi-section record.

A checkable record

One roof. Separate measured sections.

Label each supported plane, keep every pitch and plan area visible, and export the calculation with its assumptions. RoofFigured does not infer unknown complex geometry.

Safety boundary

Calculate without climbing.

Use drawings, ground-level measurements, safely accessible interior information or dimensions supplied by a competent professional. A calculator is not a reason to access a roof.

RoofFigured explains geometry only. It does not size structural members, approve a design, interpret building codes or prescribe installation.
