In the Property Manager, is that Property made available for the Rafter's Classification?

Honestly, i don't know where is that property for the others too. How should i find it?

As a first step, can you show me the Scheme Settings Dialog for the generated Schedule? I am interested in the Schedule Fields.

Yes, this one i set is for "rounded lumber size" and the criteria is to show for all the elements that are objects and that are on the roof layer.

If the 'rounded lumber size' is a property, then are you sure you have associated that property to the correct classification and that you rafter objects are classified with that classification?

If 'rounded lumber size' is an object parameter, then maybe those rafter objects do not have that parameter.

Yes, i found it, it is an object parameter.

How can all the roof objects have this parameter except the rafter which is maybe the most important one?

Maybe someone forgot something.

What is the name of the rafter object you are using?

I just looked at some of the objects in the Roof Maker accessories, and they all see to have this 'roundedLumberSize' parameter.

Rafter 26

The roof timber objects in the "Roof Construction 26" folder of the library do not have the rounding parameters.

Only the roof timber objects in the "RoofMaker Library 26" have the rounding parameter.

These all have "RM" in their name and there are rafter objects there as well.

You maybe mixing the 2 different types of roof timbers.

They can all be placed as regular objects,

But the ones in the "RoofMaker Library 26" library are also used with the RoofMaker Wizard add-on.

Continuing to round up i get to the beams which had a premade property called segment round with the expression below. I need it to round up the nearest .5 for example 842 should show 845 cm, 844 should show 845 cm. How can i change this formula cause now it is showing the same number on the column on the right.

Thanks

I haven't really played with this but I think you might want to use MROUNDUP instead of just ROUNDUP.

You are also multiplying the result by 1m (1000).

That is fine if you want to do that.
