What this means
The map must be centered on the correct building before any roof quantity is created.

Viewport authority
The roof shape shown in the viewport is the active basis. If you redraw or refine it, the homeowner-confirmed geometry replaces the automatic takeoff for square counts and estimate values.
Auto-measure targetTouch the center of the main house roof
The selected point determines which nearby building the provider measures.
Automatic measurement did not complete
You can try again, or measure the roof yourself: draw its outline on the map, then choose its pitch.

Choose where Front belongs on this image. Left and Right stay opposite and rotate with the complete property frame.
Choose a Front position, then save the orientation to continue.
Photo measurements are planning evidence, not survey-grade dimensions. Perspective and baseline placement must be reviewed for each roof plane.

Satellite plane index
Use the numbered map to identify each roof plane.
The solid perimeter is your saved redraw. Provider plane markers remain available only when they fit inside that corrected roof system.

2D CAD roof reconstruction
Compare measured eaves and rakes with the corrected roof shape.
This visual check assembles calibrated elevation evidence by plane. It never replaces the corrected polygon that controls roof area and squares.
Measurements differ, but the estimate is not blocked.
The corrected outline remains authoritative. Continue with the disclosed preliminary basis now, or add evidence to narrow the difference.

Plane assembly
Duplicate a correct plane before measuring it again.
Copies are visual planning aids until their dimensions are independently verified. They never change the estimate silently.

Refine the quick estimate without losing it.
Your saved quick footprint remains available while you add individual roof planes and roofing lines. Each completed step adds evidence; missing steps stay visible as unknowns and never erase the preliminary result.
- Separate each roof surface and assign its pitch.
- Classify the upper roof area and assign its own pitch without adding another roof.
- Create a same-story child plane with independent pitch, edges, material, and position.
- Draw each bottom roof edge directly on the satellite map.
- Draw each sloped perimeter edge directly on the satellite map.
- Top horizontal intersections for ridge cap and ventilation.
- Outside sloped intersections for hip and ridge cap.
- Inside intersections that affect membrane and labor complexity.
- Sloped roof-to-wall intersections.
- Horizontal roof-to-wall intersections.
- Optional map-distance cross-check that remains inside Satellite.

Regional market source research
Brave and Tavily may locate regional sources for professional review. Search results are not converted into a price unless a dated, geographically applicable rate band is verified.
How this measurement becomes an estimate
Your finalized homeowner sketch supplies the roofing squares. Saved eaves, rakes, ridges, hips, valleys, and flashing runs feed the same line-item scope engine used by Advanced Photo. Prior automatic geometry remains archived and does not affect quantities.
Build line-item estimate
Build the estimate now, or keep refining the homeowner sketch and roof edges before creating the next line-item snapshot.
Measurement help
Need the drawing verified before pricing?
Your drawing, pitch choices, selected roof system, measurement bands, edge notes, and research sources become discussion points. A professional can verify the geometry before you continue to the preliminary range.
Homeowner-created planning measurement. This is not a professional roof measurement, inspection, construction estimate, appraisal, or insurance scope. An Equity Geek can verify the roof, correct measurements, and prepare a written project estimate after physical review. Do not climb onto the roof to use this tool.
