Pitched roof (Rough)

ARC-ROOF-PITCH

Makes the roof form and structural concept spatially verifiable early on and supports reliable permitting and coordination decisions.

Description

  • Coarsely dimensioned pitched roof geometry according to the structural and envelope concept.
  • Used for coordination between architecture and structural engineering, not for execution planning.

Modelling guidelines

  • Model as a simplified volume or roof surface; pitch according to the sketch concept.
  • Do not model roof build-ups, cladding, or detail connections.
  • During conceptual architectural design, coordinate the dimensions of conceptual structural components with the structural engineer and adopt them in the architecture model.
  • Use and export the appropriate material from the authoring system.

LoadBearing

Pset_RoofCommon

Marks the element as a load-bearing component in the architecture model.

Allowed values

  • TRUE - load-bearing component
Status

Pset_RoofCommon

Component status for coordinating work in existing buildings.

Allowed values

  • NEW - new build
  • EXISTING - existing

W/(m²·K)
ElementStatus

ePset_ElementStatus

Component status for coordinating work in existing buildings.

Allowed values

  • NEW - new build
  • EXISTING - existing
  • DEMOLISH - demolition
  • TEMPORARY - temporary

Note

  • IFC2x3 substitute for Status.
CostInterface

ePset_Cost

Cost interface of the component - base building or tenant fit-out.

Allowed values

  • GAB - base building (client / landlord)
  • MAB_{TenantName} - tenant fit-out, e.g. MAB_TenantA
FundingApplication

ePset_Cost

Number of the funding application, so quantities and costs can be filtered by application. Separate several numbers with commas, e.g. 2024-0142, 2024-0188. Leave empty when the component belongs to no application.

AwardInterface

ePset_Cost

Procurement package of the component, so interfaces between contractor packages become visible.

Allowed values

  • See the Procurement package value list. This Swiss data package uses three-digit BKP codes, e.g. 211, 221, 244.
PlanningInterface

ePset_Cost

Planning interface of the component as a three-digit BKP code, so responsibilities between design disciplines become visible.

Allowed values

  • See the BKP planning package value list, e.g. 091, 092, 094.
BelowTerrain

ePset_Cost

Marks whether the component sits below ground level.

Allowed values

  • TRUE - below ground
  • FALSE - above ground
eBKP

ePset_Cost

eBKP-H classification according to SN 506 511 - derivable from IsExternal, LoadBearing, and BelowTerrain.

Allowed values

  • C04.05 - pitched roof construction
ProductClass

ePset_Cost

Product class for cost and tender assignment. It may be assigned manually; for consistent tender data, it should preferably be derived from component properties through deterministic automation or AI-assisted mapping.

Allowed values

UnitPrice

ePset_Cost

Project- or office-specific unit price per unit of the reference quantity, used to check component costs for plausibility.

CHF/m²
ReferenceQuantity

ePset_Cost

Authoritative reference quantity used with UnitPrice: Qto_RoofBaseQuantities.GrossArea.

Connection

ePset_Circularity

Connection type for detachability (Madaster).

Allowed values

  • DryConnection - dry connection
  • AddedConnection - connection using added parts
  • DirectConnection - direct integral connection
  • SoftChemicalConnection - soft chemical connection
  • HardChemicalConnection - hard chemical connection
Accessibility

ePset_Circularity

Accessibility of the connection without destroying the component or surroundings (Madaster).

Allowed values

  • Accessible - freely accessible without additional actions
  • PartialNoDamage - accessible with actions that cause no damage
  • PartialWithRepairableDamage - accessible with fully repairable damage
  • PartialWithDamage - accessible with partially repairable damage
  • NotAccessible - not accessible; irreparable damage
Reuse

ePset_Circularity

Share of already reused or recycled material in the component (0.01 - 1.00, e.g. 0.80 = 80 %).

MaterialOrProductId

ePset_Circularity

Unique ID of the material or product in the linked database (e.g. Madaster, baubook).

WasteCodes

ePset_Circularity

Waste codes for deconstruction and disposal. Code to VeVA (CH) or EWC/AVV (EU); format as used by Madaster, e.g. 17 01:0.25:Inert:60:60;.

HazardType

ePset_HazardousMaterial
