Example with roof:

If there is Slope Arrow used in the roof creation then the joists will be perpendicular to it:

Hide Framing Messages

Hide Framing Messages – hides different framing messages after using Frame Wall function on walls that have already been framed.

Example: You click Frame Wall on an already-framed wall. There are three options: Delete and Reframe, Update Frame, and Skip Frame. Using Hide Framing Messages you can automatically select the option that needs to be done with such walls, and you will not see this option again. It is extremely useful working in a project with many walls.

Example: You click Frame Floor on an already-framed floor. There are three options: Delete and Reframe, Update Frame, and Skip Frame. Using Hide Framing Messages you can automatically select the option that needs to be done with such floors, and you will not see this option again. It is extremely useful when working in a project with many floors.

Use Short Update by Modify Framing

Use Short Update by Modify Framing – while modifying openings, connections, etc., Wall+, Floor+ or Roof+ will update just selected opening or connection, without updating whole wall. This option saves time during the updating process.

In such a case, the regular Update Frame function will work like a long update, which will update the whole wall and during the modification process only a short update will be used.

  1. - Long Update

  2. - Short Update

“Update by Database” in Custom Joins

Link configurations together throughout all parts of your framing configurations to reflect changes made to any one database configuration. You can find this setting in the Modify Settings tab. Tick ‘Enable “Update by Database” in Custom Joins’.

Then, a new column – Update by Database – will appear in all Custom Joins. Below, for example, you can see the new column in the Window Framing tab:

Enable "Link to Configuration" in Custom Joins

Enable "Link to Configuration" in Custom Joins – enables "Link to Configuration" button in every dialog with custom joints.

Automatically Delete Element if "Can't make type..."

Automatically Delete Element if "Can't make type..." – deletes elements automatically when there is no possibility to create type.

Active Types Filter

Active Types Filter – an additional Types Filter dialog where you can add your rules for filtering framing elements. It can help you select and find the right types for wall/floor/roof framing.

Example with Wood Framing Wall+:

In such case Wall+ will show only the types which fit the filter:

Example with Metal Framing Wall+:

In such case Wall+M will show only the types which fit the filter:

Check for Wall Sweeps and Reveals (in Wall+, Wall+M)

Check for Wall Sweeps and Reveals – tries and analyse wall sweeps and reveals for wall framing.

Exclude "Build in Place" Elements for CNC Marking

Exclude "Build in Place" Elements for CNC Marking – Build in Place elements will not be used in CNC numbering. Only prefabricated elements will be used in CNC.

Example with wood:

If Build in Place parameter is ticked, then the element will be not used in CNC:

CNC Part Position instance parameter is empty after using Write Positions for CNC Marking function:

For not Build in Place elements CNC Part Position is filled up:

Example with metal:

If Build in Place parameter is ticked, then the element will be not used in CNC:

CNC Part Position instance parameter is empty after using Write Positions for CNC Marking function:

Example with metal:

Example with wood:

CNC Part Position instance parameter is empty after using Write Positions for CNC Marking function:

For prefabricated (i.e. not Build in Place) elements, CNC Part Position is filled in:

Example with wood roof:

CNC Part Position instance parameter is empty after using Write Positions for CNC Marking function:

For not Build in Place elements CNC Part Position is filled up:

Add Wall/Floor/Roof into Frame Assembly – adds wall/floor/roof element into assembly with shop drawings.

Add Windows/Doors/Openings into Frame Assembly

Add Windows/Doors/Openings into Frame Assembly – adds windows, doors or openings into frame assembly with shop drawings. In such case, window will be assembled together with a frame. It can also be tagged in the assembly views.

Calculate Window/Door/Opening Mass

Calculate Window/Door/Opening Mass – adds window, door or opening weight into the common weight/mass of assembly.

Add details hosted on part/wall/floor/roof into Frame Assembly

Add details hosted on part/wall/floor/roof into Frame Assembly – includes details, which were in wall, floor, roof or wall part, into assembly with shop drawings.

Example with wall:

Example with floor:

Example with metal roof:

Example with wood roof:

Mandatory condition for mass calculation: all elements must have Material with Physical properties assigned with Density parameter:

Part Assembly Parameter

Part Assembly Parameter – setting is used while creating parts. It defines the overlap between the parts from different layers.

Examples:

Cut Bridging/Nogging with Opening Additional Void

Cut Bridging/Nogging with Opening Additional Void – cuts bridging/nogging with the void from the opening. This is especially used for sidings.

In this example, the Siding Boards have been cut by an additional void:
