postandbeam Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I have a plan that won't build the roof framing. I've made sure the layers are turned on so I can see the framing. Is there some basic thing that has to be done besides checking off "Build Roof Framing" in the Build Roof dialog box under the Structure tab? Thanks.

Alaskan_Son Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Check to make sure you have an actual FRAMING material type assigned in the Structure definition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postandbeam Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 I attached the plan. A few notes that might make it "weird" and may be the source of my problem. I'm trying to make a timber roof system. There would be no ceiling surface, just exposed rafters with 2x6 decking above, then foam, then plywood. For areas with no surface, such as the ceiling, I set the material to "No Material- Opening." Test Plan For Beam Roof System.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postandbeam Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 THANK YOU!!!! I learned a number of things: Signature line is important :-) Posting plans makes it easier (even if I'm embarrassed about my hack plans) Setting a material to be a Framing Material- fixed both my problems. Still need to learn forum etiquette. What does the green up/down arrow by posts mean, and the "heart" icon. I want to mark some of the answers as helpful and that they are solutions...
