I will post links to all of my objects and videos here.
they are all basic and probably have tons of bugs

I'd like to make a request for a floor framing object. I imagine it as a single object that is defined as a polygon in plan.
Thanks.
Way back in the mists of time when I first started learning GDL from David Nicholson-Cole's GDL Cookbook I added some bells and whistles to his object and you can download it from https://bimcomponents.com/GSM/Details/17793 While it doesn't use the method you describe which sounds very similar to the Rooftool this object allows you stretch out joists at whatever centres you require to do what you are looking for.


I've made the conscience decision, that until the time i feel that i am more than adept with my gdl skills, i will give away all my objects to those who would like them. PM me and i can send you links. I still have a bit of work to do on it but this is an item someone wished for.

Just wanted to share a screen shot of my progress on this floor system object. I still have a few more things I want to add before I put it up on bimcomponents but the are easy and shouldn't take me to long.

The hotstpot editing to move around the building shape is nice!

If you want some more wishes and hard stuff... depending on if this is just to generate more believable sections, or to generate believable framing... there would need to be a way to include intermediate ledgers/beams as joists that long aren't workable in practice.

I think it would be complex to make a single floor framing object with arbitrary intermediate beams... but your existing object would work if it had the option to individually control the size and visibility of the rim joists. Then, for example, a full object as shown could span to an intermediate bearing wall or beam... and then a 'half' object (omitting the rim joist in order to but the joists up to the first objects rim/beam) could continue the span. etc. The half-objects would be needed anyway to rotate the framing direction depending on the spans. For example, your screenshot shows all joists going left to right, but based on the spans between bearing points, that wouldn't be how this would be built.

A great option would be if the joist profile could be chosen between rectangular lumber and manufactured i-joists. And, some kind of blocking for twisting would be a good option, too, if making real framing vs visuals for sections...

Karl, awesome suggestions. I'm working on adding multiple stair openings and then I'll have the ability to add any number of framing pieces that go the opposing directions and will have rotating hotspots. Send me some pictures of what you want exactly and I'll put it in. The beams should be easy too.

I'm not quite there but very close. And once I get it figured out I'll be able to add everything you mentioned
