Poll on Steel Framed Roof Slopes

[troberts]

For the most part, I am talking about the typical roof that slopes 1/4" per foot for drainage.

How many of you model your roofs flat?
How many model the slope?

Let us know what you do and why.

Thanks, Tim

Slope.

Over 300' it adds up...

We do it both ways. Depends on the project and Architect.

Depends on the geometry of the job. I very rarely come across a job with a flat roof, they always have some sort of slope. So for the large part I always model a sloped roof.
