Geography
- Do you serve a particular region of the country? As demonstrated below, we can set up zip code collectors to set parameters according to where a structure will be built. 
Style
Starting Designs
- We use “style” as basic starting points for your building configurations. These will be shown in the menu on the right hand side of your configurator (example below). What are 4 - 8 “styles” that you would like to represent in your configurator? 
Roof Type
- What is the roof profile for each style? E.g., gable, lean, gambrel, etc.? 
- What are the roof pitch options for each style? 
- Does roof pitch vary according to size? 
- What type of roofing do you offer for each style? E.g., PBR, asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, etc.? 
- What roof overhang options do you offer? Are any roof overhangs standard for a certain style? 
- Do you offer any dormer? E.g., standard dormers, dollhouse dormers? 
- Do you offer any roof accessories such as hay hoods or widow’s peaks? Examples below: 
Hay Hood
Widow’s Peak
Leans, Porches & Attachments
Starting Designs
- We support two main attachment types: leans and gables (shown below). Both can have any wall opened to create a “porch” or a partially enclosed “run-in”. What types of attachments would you like to represent? 
Lean
Gable
Attachment Options
- Do your lean attachments have the ability to wrap around corners? This creates a hip-roof: 
- Do your lean attachments have the ability to extend from corners with a gable roof? This creates a gable pop-out: 
- Are your standard lean wraparounds able to “meet” in the middle of a sidewall? E.g., one continuous wrap? 
- Do your attachments apply only to certain building styles? 
- Are there any sides to which attachments cannot be added? E.g., “do not add leans to the gable ends of buildings” 
Size
Basic Styles
- For each style created as your starting design, please give us the available lengths, widths and heights. 
- Please report any associated changes that come along with basic size changes. For example, “Buildings over 60 feet wide have a pitch of 3/12” 
Attachments
- For each attachment you support, please give us the available lengths, widths and heights. 
- Please report any associated logic that is based on your building styles. For example, “length of attachments should never exceed the length of the main building”
