Obstructions, keep-outs and walkways
Mark everything that removes usable roof before placing modules.
1 min readLast updated
What belongs here
Vents, chimneys, access paths, exclusion zones and edge setbacks: anything that removes usable roof area.
Draw tools
Rectangle, Circle, Line, Freeform, Keep-out and Walkway. Every obstruction tool stores the same footprint geometry used by placement and shading.
Layers
Toggle roof planes, obstructions, setbacks and panels on the map, plus solar access, sun exposure, sun path and strings where available.
Why it comes before panels
Automatic placement only fills area that is clear of every keep-out, so marking obstructions first produces a layout you can stand behind.
