WOOD FRAMING ROOF+

FRAMING CONFIGURATION

Framing Configuration

Framing Configuration – here user can define all framing

parameters. It allows user to configure and save settings for

all sorts of frames – main roof Frames, Secondary

Frames, Battens and Roofing. It is very versatile with

thousands of different possibilities.

2


Framing Configuration dialog is divided into four main

parts: Top, Left, Center and Right.

In Top part choose Configuration Type, which you want

to use, and Configuration Name, which you want to

modify.

Left part lets you select framing options going in a easy

top-down approach.

Center part – the settings.

Right part shows a symbolic picture of the part you are

modifying.

Material Class – defines material. Wood Framing Roof+ uses Wood and Metal Framing Roof+ uses Metal.

Configuration Type – choose type of framing you want to configure. Possible options – Frame, Secondary Frame, Batten,

Roofing:

Configuration Name – configuration with all framing settings. You can use sample or create new configurations. You can also

rename or delete existing configurations.

By default, Roof+ framing configurations are saved in C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Tools 4 Revit\Roof+2015

Configurations (or other version)\Framing Configuration catalogue. The content from this catalogue can be copied to other

user’s computer if needed. The path can be also changed in Roof+ → Configuration Files’ Location

One framing configuration contains a folder and XML

file under the same name:

Common Settings

Use for all Framing Elements (except

Openings) – if ticked then selected joists and

rim joist families will be used for other framing

elements, like connections, bridgings, noggings,

etc. without an option to change it to a custom

family.

Main Type of Joists (or Rim Joists) – select a

family and type for the Joists or Rim Joists.

Sample families

Metric Joist – M_Roof_Frame Common Joist

Metric Rim Joist – M_Roof_Frame Valley_Hip Board

Imperial Joist – I_Roof_Frame Common Joist

Imperial Rim Joist – I_Roof_Frame Valley_Hip Board

Do not use any other families, except the ones

which are loaded with Roof+!

Width (b) – shows the width, b parameter value

from selected family type

Depth (h, d) – shows the depth, h or d parameter value from selected family type.

Define Depth (h, d) by Layer Thickness – the software will use or create new

type for selected family and change depth value to the roof layer thickness. So the

frames will fit the layer of the roof.

Roof Frame Panels – if ticked, then roof frames are assembled in manufactory, if

unticked – assembled on-site.

Common Settings for All Configurations

Common Settings for All Configurations – the settings that will work for all

configurations. So it doesn't matter which one is selected

Auto Detect Copied Framed Object – keeps strong a link between framing

elements and a roof after manual user copy process. We made a possibility to

reestablish the association between the copied frame and the roof.

11


Add Roof into Frame Assembly – adds a roof into assembly with shop

drawings

12

Add Windows/Doors/

Minimal Top or Bottom Tile Joist “Cut Length”– define the minimal top or bottom tile “Cut Length” for the openings. If needed. the tile joists can be deleted using Delete Tile Joists if “Cut Length” is Less than Minimal.

18

For example, top tile joists were deleted

because the length is less than 2.

Bottom tile joists stay

Recommended workflow: create frame without details; add additional elements; split elements if

needed; and in the final step - add details. This will allow users to save time during updating process

when framing roof.


Rotate 90°, 180° – if ticked, then rotates bracing 90 or/and 180 degrees. Rotation

depends on how the family is created

Offset from Joist Side – detail insertion placement: from joist to right, left, left

Possible options:

Offset – distance between the detail and a joist.

85


Measure from Location Line – if ticked, then the distance for detail placement

sloped rims, bridgings, noggings, headers, etc.

87

Include Opening – if ticked, then the details

will be inserted on elements above

and below the openings.

Min. Distance between Joists – define the

minimal distance between joists for details

to be inserted. In such case, you will

eliminate detail placements between joists

that are very close to each other.

Include Details to Update – after update

process, the details will stay.
