Roof framing

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 12:55:06 GMT

Is there an easy way of creating underpurlins, struts and collarties? I know how to create them individually but it's a long process.. the roof wizard doesn't do these so I was wondering if there are any other add-ons or any of the sort that can create these for me?

Cheers

Try using OBJECTiVE. It doesn't automate roof framing, but enables you to place, cut, and rotate framing directly in a section window. It's a surprisingly quick process, and free for educational use.

The Roof wizard does do those things. You can Rafters, Collars and Ties, Ridge Beams, Plate Beams, and Hip Rafters using the Roof Wizard.
