1 Working with Roofs in Chief Architect Part 2 By Dan Baumann It s Faster, Easier and More Accurate to Add Roofs Manually 1

2 Recommended Plan Procedure 1. Open and Save your plan 2. Layout and dimension your exterior walls as accurately as possible 3. Add the walls that separate different level platforms 4. Get all Platform thicknesses and heights adjusted 5. Work with the Automatic Roof tools 6. Work with the Manual Roof tools 7. Add the Stairs 8. Add other details Working with the Manual Roof Tools Review of how the Auto Roof tools work Review the tools used to Edit Roof Planes What are the Parts of a Roof Plane All Roofs Start with a "Baseline Adding them manually 6 Places to use the Roof Join Tool Reshaping roof planes using the CAD Tools Understanding X Y Z Adjusting roof planes in 3D (Z-axis) Putting it all together, Adding, Shaping, Moving, Joining Creating the 1-1/2 Story Other Roof Examples 2

3 What is a Roof Plane? What is a Roof Plane? Roof planes have unique characteristics the other items in Chief don t have. A roof plane is a 3D CAD box (plane) that t can be placed in your plan anywhere you want. It can have any thickness, shape, angle and location in 3D It interacts with other roof planes automatically or by using the supplied tools. If it covers a wall it will cut off the top of the wall If it s higher than a wall, Chief will add a wall called an Attic wall to meet the bottom side of the roof. Framing fills roof planes based on it s shape & thickness. 3

4 Auto Roofs - Chief Adds a Baseline to all of the walls on the exterior of your screen Auto Roofs - The Baseline height is adjusted in 3D by the Default Setting - OR 4

5 Auto Roofs - The Height of the room next to the wall where the baseline is placed Auto Roofs - Once the Baseline is in Place Roof Planes Build Up From Those Lines 5

6 As the Roof Planes Build From the Baseline Chief Attempts to Connect all the Edges Review of Automatic Roof Function Chief looks for all exterior walls It places a polyline on each wall called a Baseline The Baseline Height is set based on ceiling height next to the exterior wall If you add Raise Off Plate it will be that much higher It starts building the roof places up from the Baselines Pitch is determined by Default or the Settings in the Walls It attempts to join all of the edges together That s it! That s it! The Automatic Function will get 0% to 100% of the roofs correct 6

7 2 Rules about Roof Planes Items Used to Manually Edit Roofs Adjust the Toolbar Right click and any icon and select All-Tools Configuration Tools we ll be using in this class: Shift + A Auto Dimension Exterior Walls Roof Tools or R To add Baselines for roof planes Overview of the Snap Points of a polyline shape Ctrl+D Make edges and shapes parallel 3 Break Polyline tool 2 Join Roof Tool Ctrl + Alt + V Copy and Paste in Place Dimensioning Polylines 7

8 The Parts of a Roof Plane ALL ROOFS START WITH A BASELINE 8

9 Join Tool or #2 The JOIN TOOL will join roof edges together 100% of the time The only reasons this tool won t work: The wrong edges have been selected or The Roof Edges were not meant to be joined together or There is a Break in one of the edges Join Tool or #2 Hip to Hip 9

10 Join Tool or #2 Ridge to Ridge Join Tool or #2 Ridge to Hip 10

11 Join Tool Valley to Valley Plus + Join Tool Ridge to Gable End or Fascia 11

12 Join Tool or #2 Ridge to Fascia Reshaping Roof Planes Using The CAD Tools 12

13 The X Y Z Axis & Transform/Replicate Adjusting roof planes in 3D (Z-axis) 13

14 Putting it all together, Adding, Shaping, Moving, Joining The key now is to put all of this into action in one plan 1. Add roof planes to a plan 2. Adjust their position in the 3D, Z Axis 3. Learn how to Copy and Paste numbers 4. Changing the angles 5. Using the Join Tools 6. Things to pay special attention too 7. Creating a 1-1/2 Story manually Thank You For Attending Working with Roofs in Chief Architect Part 2 By Dan Baumann 14
