If you use the Truss Option, the slope will start at the EXTERIOR face of the wall.

When Selecting the Rafter Option, the slope starts at the INTERIOR face of the wall. If I can pull this off successfully then I have actually accomplished something.Ever wonder what the difference was between selecting Rafter or Truss when doing a Roof by Footprint and utilizing Pick Walls? (Notice, I mentioned Roof by Footprint and Pick Walls.you have to use these tools/options to get the selection of Rafter or Truss.) Well, the difference is quite simple but can be confusing to some when laying out the footprint lines. This is the Holy Grail of the Medeek Truss extension. Just to be clear this module is something I have been trying to accomplish within this plugin since I began coding it almost four years ago. Any feedback or suggestions on what I have proposed thus far for this new module is very much welcomed.
#Exposed rafter revit update
I'm posting this update not only for you but also for me as it is helping me organize some of my own thoughts about what direction I need to take this new development. I will also have the "Edit Roof Outline" context menu tool which will allow the user to actually edit the polygon that defines the roof outline.

This should make resizing a roof a breeze. Similar to the "Move SOG Edge" tool with the foundation plugin I will also have a "Move Roof Eave" tool that allows the user to move the roof outline around by picking an edge and dragging it perpendicular in or out. outlookers, gable overhang, wall sheathing, wall cladding etc.) Once a roof edge/plane is converted to a gable it will then need to be editable with a different "gable" menu, which will include a whole host of gable specific parameters (ie. Overhang OR Delta Height (vertical height of supporting top plate)Īdditionally certain roof planes will be convertable from a hip configuration to a gable configuration. The roof plane edit tool will allow the user to adjust the follow parameters specifically for that roof plane or eave/edge: Once a complex roof assembly is created it then can be edited by selecting various roof planes and customizing that roof planes particular parameters. Future advanced parameters might include: gypsum, ceiling joists, heel blocking The number of parameter required for all of these options is too numerous to list here. The advanced roof options will include: sheathing, cladding, sub-fascia, hip-and-ridge, gutters and soffit & fascia. If the advanced roof options are enabled then the roof planes are actually further defined by the sub-fascia width since in two of three sub-fascia types the roof sheathing (plane) actually extends over the sub-fascia. polygon outline (provided by a face or a locus of user selected points) The basic parameters that will define the complex roof overall geometry and roof planes are: Many of the editing and move tools will be brought over from the recent work on the foundation plugin. All of the menus for this module will be HTML. Working in earnest on the complex roof module today after spending about two months overhauling the foundation plugin.Īs I'm putting together this module I'm starting with a clean slate and trying to take advantage of all my behind the scenes and UI improvements I've made with the updates to foundation plugin and even the electrical plugin.
