corrugated metal deck

[Anonymous]

Has anyone made or found a library part for a corrugated metal deck?

If there isn't, you can always make it with the complex profile....

If the "plan" of the deck is complex, I have been using ROOF SURFACER...

1. Place Roof at 0deg pitch
2. Run Roof Surfacer (ACCESSORIES, you have to add as a GOODY)
3. Choose CORRUGATED DECK profile
4. Set profile such that the bottom of the deck matches the bottom of the roof
5. Use SEO's to remove the portion of the ROOF that is BELOW the deck
6. Give the ROOF a CONCRETE section fill

If you don't want the concrete on top, you may have to do steps 1-4, then...
5. PASTE A COPY of the roof surfacer (deck) and delete the original and the roof. If they stay connected, deleting the roof "may" delete the surfacer also.
