Roof framing in a Layout

[EvanMW]

After I have framed a roof, not trusses, how do I show it in a layout. I need to show all the rafters, ridge poles, etc... for our factory to make all the cuts.

turn on just that layer and the others you do not want to see turn off.

simply send your Framing Annotation Plan View to Layout. And like Shane said, you can send with selected layers turned off or on.

I understand how to send views to the layout. I want to show each rafter so I can dimension each for our factory to make the cuts. Chief will break out each truss, how do you show each framing member?

Cross section view, there is no magic button.

That will entail a lot of work.  While Chief produces a detail view of every single truss type for a job, that is as far as it goes.  No such thing exists for rafters, beams, headers, studs, or any other framing members.

 

You will need to take a back-cut section view of every member you want to detail, then do a CAD detail from view of that, edit as needed, and then dimension and annotate as needed.  Even before you begin, your framing will need to be gone over with a fine toothed comb to ensure it is all correct and in accord with how you intend to build.

 

You will be using point-to-point dimensioning a lot when detailing the rafters.  A quick look is attached.  I just popped in some dims on a live section.
