| Abstract: | The geometric design of roofs is a key element in the design and construction of buildings. Roofs play an important role in protecting buildings from the weather and providing esthetic appearance and functionality. Theoretically, to design a roof over a given plan means to construct the projections of the intersections of the roof planes. All this usually takes place in only one (orthogonal) projection. In simpler cases, for example if the roof plan is a rectangle, students can visualize the roof. If the floor plan is more complex, students often don't know what the roof actually looks like and what the different steps of construction actually should be. In the recent period, the need for digital teaching materials has arisen in the context of distance education. Materials created using GeoGebra software have been shown to be suitable for use in mainstream teaching and to help students with homework. Their advantage is that they can facilitate self-directed study, as students can pace their progress. A further advantage is the combination of the solution in a orthogonal projection with the visualization in 3D. Based on this experience, type problems have been created in GeoGebra software by teachers, that show the solution of roofs in orthogonal projection, as is customary in this subject, and also show the solution in 3D. In addition, the documents created in GeoGebra can be used for 3D printing. In this paper, we present selected tasks and demonstrate the possibilities of using GeoGebra for graphical solutions.
