Downspout positions are proposals, not observed installations. A rake is never a gutter.

Demand is drained plan area × 4.0 in/hr, compared with each system’s capacity table for the worst gutter section and the worst outlet of the run. Illustrative capacities; the adopted sizing method and manufacturer data decide an order.
Eave height is measured from the ground. Drainage includes water discharged onto a run’s roof by higher outlets (shown as routed).

Positions are proposals, not observed installations. A drop from the model is the eave height less the ground, or less the lower roof the outlet discharges onto; measure before ordering.
Pipe length equals the drop; elbows clear the overhang and turn the water away at the foot.

Automated checks
| Automated check | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Runs follow eaves only | Passed | Every guttered line is an eave; rakes, ridges and flashing lines are never guttered. |
| Every eave guttered once | Passed | 28 eave lines in scope, each in exactly one run. |
| Drainage counted once | Passed | 4,494 sq ft of 4,494 sq ft of roof plan drains to a run, each facet once. |
| Corners counted once | Passed | 2 inside and 6 outside miters, one per turning point. |
| Outlets within the limits | Passed | No outlet collects more than 40 ft of gutter or 600 sq ft of roof. |
| Drop heights known | Passed | Every downspout has a drop height; see the schedule for where each came from. |
| Capacity screen | Note | 1 run and system pair exceeds the capacity table; see the run schedule. |
| Source | Note | Synthetic sample; a real report cites its imagery source and date. |
Method
- Runs: every eave of the selected structures, chained where lines meet end to end. Rakes, ridges and flashing lines are never guttered.
- Corners: a turn of 10° or more takes a miter: outside where the run turns around the roof, inside at the foot of a valley. Each corner is counted once.
- Drainage: each facet drains to its own eaves in proportion to their length; a facet without one drains to the run nearest its lowest corner.
- Outlets: each run is split into equal stretches of at most 40 ft of gutter and 600 sq ft of roof, one outlet each, at a corner or run end where possible and over the ground rather than a lower roof.
- Routing: an outlet over a lower roof discharges onto it, and its water joins the runs that roof drains to.
- Drops: eave height less the ground, or less the lower roof below the outlet. A drop nobody measured is withheld, never zero.
- Capacity: drained plan area × design rainfall, against each system’s capacity table (plan sq ft at 1 in/hr) for the worst section and outlet.
Limitations
- Every figure comes from an invented house; drop heights are read from its model, not measured.
- Fascia condition, existing gutters, soffit depth and ground slope cannot be seen in the model.
- The capacity screen uses an illustrative rainfall intensity and capacity table. It is not a sizing calculation or a code check.
- No accuracy or certification is claimed; confirm runs, outlets and drops on site before ordering.

Check at the property
- Measure each downspout drop and where it lands: ground, a lower roof or a drain inlet.
- Confirm the fascia and the hanger fastening surface along every run.
- Note where the ground falls toward the house and plan extensions or splash blocks there.
- Confirm whether existing gutters come off and whether guards are wanted.
