Roof editor tools that fit smaller screens

Drawing a roof away from a desktop is closer to the full experience. The action menus stack when space is tight instead of clipping their labels or covering the zoom controls, editor buttons keep their size on iPhone and iPad, and closing a roof you are part-way through drawing takes fewer attempts.

Improved​

  • Editor menus stack vertically in a narrow container. A crowded menu docks to the bottom left rather than clipping its labels or sitting over the zoom controls. The roof editor and the air con layout now share the same menu, so both behave the same way.
  • The editor opens framed on the building. Opening the editor, and Reset View, fit the pitch hints, the property boundary, and any roofs you have drawn. A minimum radius stops a small site being over-zoomed. The satellite image is only used to frame the view when none of those exist.
  • Large commercial roofs are no longer cut off. Aerial solar data is requested to fit the building rather than a fixed area around the property, so a warehouse-scale roof comes through whole, and the editor zooms out far enough to see it.
  • The Commercial Solar Quote Tool switches to its mobile layout on tablets. Below roughly 1280 pixels wide, your customer gets the top navigation and the floating price bar instead of a squeezed side panel. The side panel returns on wider screens.

Fixed​

  • Editor buttons keep their size on iPhone and iPad. Safari and Chrome on iOS were shrinking labelled actions down to fit their text, so menu cells and toolbar buttons came out smaller than intended and were harder to hit.
  • Closing a roof works on the first tap more often. The tap area for closing a shape is larger on touch, and tapping the first point closes the roof rather than snapping to a nearer vertex.
  • The price summary wraps instead of squashing. In the Commercial Solar Quote Tool, the figures stay top-aligned and move onto another line when the panel around them is narrow.
