Measure Entire Project Exposure

1. Create a project diagram

• The top diagram is an aerial view of a 3-sided exposure

• Use the perspective that you are inside your space looking out so we can agree on "Left vs. Right " ...Important

• From this interior perspective, lay your entire project out on a sheet of paper like a Left-to-Right timeline

• Use dashed lines to represent outer corners of your project

2. Add measurements

• Write down the widths of each of the 3 sides in ft-in
  (i.e. 7-5 means 7ft 5in)

• Circle the heights at each corner represented in inches

Sloped Roof (pitched along sides)

• Your project might not be rectangular (i.e. shed roofs)

• So be sure to measure the height at all corners

• More about shed roofs
• More about gabled roofs

Sloped Floors

• Often concrete and tile floors are sloped for drainage so it is important to measure the height at all corners.

• If a floor slope is less than 2 inches, use the taller of the two heights and consider your panels to be rectangular.
