Roof planning

Warning lines & roof setbacks

A coral-red painted marker follows the roof perimeter at a conceptual 16-foot inset. The wider, brighter stripe makes the distance from the roof edge visible within this model.

UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM

Make the roof-edge offset visible.

  1. 01

    Shown as a painted line directly on the roof surface.

  2. 02

    The model uses a 16-foot horizontal inset from the roof edge.

  3. 03

    The painted marker is a visual cue; it does not represent an elevated warning-line system.

UNDERSTAND THE DISTANCE

Sixteen feet, seen clearly.
