**Frame Roof** – frames selected roofs or parts from the model according to predefined configuration.

### First time in the project

The first time you click **Frame Roof** in a new project, you will get a message that the framing families are not loaded. You can load them directly from here:

Just click OK:

Framing families can be also loaded using **Roof+** → **Settings** → **Load Families**:

**Roof+** checks the status of selected roofs. If there is something wrong with the roofs, you will get a detailed report. In the image below, you can see possible report messages.

*Let's solve the problem of the **Roof Framing Panels** roof type:*

*To fix these kinds of problems, you usually need to go to **Link Roof** and check the situation:*

***Roof Framing Panels** has framing possibility disabled, so you just need to select the checkbox near the **Frame** column.*

*You can also assign **Framing Layer** and **Framing Configuration** for every layer:*

*There is no problem if framing configuration in not assigned to the layer. You can assign it in the **Link Roof** dialog, or **Roof+** will give you this option during the **Frame Roof** process:*

*Selected a sample framing configuration, which automatically comes with **Roof+,** and click OK:*
