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 floor 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 Floor+ uses Wood and Metal Framing Floor+ 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, Floor+M framing configurations are saved in C:\Users\user name\appdata\roaming\tools 4 Revit\Floor+M2015 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 Floor+M Configuration Files Location 5

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

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.

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 Floor+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 floor layer thickness. So the frames will fit the layer in the floor. Floor Frame Panels if ticked then floor frames are assembled in manufactory, if unticked assembled in-place. 7
