1 METAL FRAMING ROOF+ FRAMING CONFIGURATION

2 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 and Battens. It is very versatile with thousands of different possibilities. 2

3 Framing Configuration 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 easy topto-down way. TOP LEFT CENTER RIGHT Center part the settings. Right part shows a symbolic picture of part you modify. 3

4 Framing Configuration Material Class defines material. Wood Framing Roof+ uses Wood and Metal Framing Roof+ user Steel. Configuration Type choose type of framing you want to configure. Possible options Frame and Batten: 4

5 Framing Configuration Configuration Name configuration with all framing settings. You can use sample or create new configurations. Also you can rename or delete existing configurations. By default, Roof+M framing configurations are saved in C:\Users\user name\appdata\roaming\tools 4 Revit\RoofM+2015 Configurations (or other version)\framing Configuration catalogue. The content from this catalogue can be copied to other users computer if needed. Also the path can be changed in Roof+M Configuration Files Location 5

6 Framing Configuration One framing configuration contains a folder and XML file under the same name: 6

7 Common Settings Use for all Framing Elements (except Openings) if ON then selected joists and rim joists families will be used for other framing elements, like connections, bridgings, noggings etc. without an option to change it to the 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_MF Stud-Joist Metric Rim Joist M_MF Track Imperial Joist I_MF Stud-Joist Imperial Rim Joist I_MF Track Do not use any other families, except the ones which are loaded with Roof+M! 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 in the roof. Roof Frame Panels if ticked then roof frames are assembled in manufactory, if unticked assembled in-place. 7

8 Main framing elements Rim Joist 2 Common Joist Bridging/Nogging/Blocking Edge Joist Rim Joist 1 8

9 Main framing elements according to slope position Rim Joist 2 Header 2 First Joist Left Header 1 Right Last Joist Rim Joist 1 9

10 Common Settings Element Mark Definitions tab naming convention of framing members. You can set individual mark settings for each part of the frame for easy preparation of shop drawings Framing Member Mark symbol used for marking framing elements Those values will be automatically added to the frame after pressing Frame Roof. 10

11 Common Settings for All Configuration Common Settings for All Configuration the settings which will work for all configurations. So it doesn't matter which is selected Auto Detect Copied Framed Object keeps strong 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

12 Common Settings for All Configuration Add Roof into Frame Assembly adds a roof into assembly with shop drawings Add Windows/Doors/ Openings into Frame Assembly adds windows, doors or openings into frame assembly. In such case window will be assembled together with a frame. Also it can be tagged in the assembly views. Calculate Window/Door/Opening Mass adds window, door or opening weight into the common weight/mass of assembly. 12

13 Common Settings for All Configuration Add details hosted on part (on roof) into Frame Assembly includes details which where added into a roof or roof part into assembly with shop drawings 13

14 Common Settings for All Configuration Calculate Assembly Mass calculates mass and writes to assembly Framing Member Mass parameter 14

15 Common Settings for All Configuration For Mass calculation Roof+M uses material which is assigned to Structural Framing category and subcategories: Density is mandatory from the material for weight calculation: 15

16 Common Settings for All Configuration Align Frame with Bottom Face aligns frame with bottom face of the roof. This function is convenient when the roof is created using shape editing tools. Unticked Ticked 16

17 Common Settings for All Configuration Split Rim Joist perpendicular rim joist will be split perpendicularly during splitting process. Unticked Ticked 17

18 Common Settings for All Configuration Minimal Top or Bottom Tile Joist Cut Length define the minimal top or bottom tiles Cut Length for the openings. If needed the tile joists can be deleted using Delete Tile Joists if Cut Length is Less than Minimal. For example, top tile joists were deleted because the length is less that 2. Bottom tile joists stays 18

19 Common Settings for All Configuration Allow to rename families and types feature allows to rename families and types. Steps: 1. Switch ON Allow to rename families and types checkbox 2. Push Save to save all predefined configurations, including names and types of all used families 3. Rename needed families or types 4. Open Framing Configuration Modify Settings tab again; 5. Switch OFF Allow to rename families and types checkbox 6. Push Save to save all predefined configurations, including renamed families and types 19

Use Add Details command details will be placed only after pressing Roof+M Add Details on the frame 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. 91

92 Details on Bridging/Blocking/Rim Joist 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 and right, external or internal faces or between two joists Possible options: Detail on Joists Open Face Detail on Joists Solid Face Offset distance between the detail and a joist 92

93 Details on Bridging/Blocking/Rim Joist Measure from Location Line if ticked, then the distance for detail placement will be calculated from the location line of Bridging/Nogging/Blocking. Measure from Joist Web Faces if ticked, then the distance for detail placement will be calculated from joist web faces. 93

94 Details on Bridging/Blocking/Rim Joist Location settings predefine detail position on top or bottom faces of rims, sloped rims, bridgings, noggings, headers etc. 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. 94
