How to Enter Measurements into Estimates Manually
While you can order an EagleView report and import measurements automatically, you can also enter all measurements manually in Roof Chief.
EagleView Instant Insights
Using EagleView Instant Insights, you can see predicted measurements for the roof. You can use these predictions as a starting point and then enter your own measurements instead.
Adding Roof Sections
To enter measurements manually:
- Enter the dimensions for each roof section
- Click "Add a Section" to include additional roof areas
- Specify the existing layers and roof pitch for each section You can easily capture multiple roof sections this way, making it simple to handle complex roof layouts.

Completing Your Measurements
