Roofs

Before framing roofs, you need to create wall types with layers and model the roofs correctly. Follow the guide below.

1. Create roof type layers

• Drywall and other finish layers should have Finish 1, Finish 2 or Substrate function

• The main studs are hosted inside the Structure layer which has to be the Core Layer (layer between the two Core Boundaries)

• Each layer must have a defined Function, Material and Thickness

Suggestion: Structure [1] layer thickness should match the Web depth (d) of you rafters/joists. For example, if your rafters are 150mm, the Structure [1] layer should have the same thickness.

You can create as many layers as you wish.

For double drywall or other finish layers, each Material name must be unique.

2. Model roofs

After modeling pitched roofs, you need to use Roof Panel Layout to divide them into smaller panels:
