Abstract


The article presents an algorithm which allows the determination of a sloped roof over a plane polygonal plan of any simply or multiply connected form, that is to say, considering the interior courtyards. The slope of each gable is fixed independently, which allows us to solve a variety of cases, such as those of equally sloped roofs, roofs with constant height ridges, attic roofs or roofs over façades without gables. The algorithm provides the geometric description, of each gable separately, which facilitates its incorporation in the computer building design programs. Tim work includes a thorough description of the algorithm as well as a representative set of practical examples.
