Chief-Mekyael Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 hi all .. Looking for a post frame template, I've seen lots of posts and rumors that one may exist, but I havent been able to locate one .. I've reviewed a very good tutorial that outlined most of the process but looking for a more streamlined approach. any assistance much appreciated. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Please let us know what you work with by completing a signature in your user profile, that includes your Chief version, other relevant software, and the hardware upon which you run it. Then tell us what you mean by post frame and it is best to include both your plan files and images of what you are after. Chief won't autoframe a timberframe structure, if you want that kind of "streamlining," but you can model structure in 3D with the available tools, as I am sure you know.

Chief-Mekyael Posted February 6 Author Share Posted February 6 hi .. thanks for the reply .. interested in 6.6 post frame 96" OC set on stem wall 2x6 interior and exterior girts @ 24" OC .. additionally, truss located on top of 6x6 post at 96" OC purlins mounted on top of truss system additional 2x4 layer perpendicular on the ceiling side to hang sheetrock onto .. seems when I set it up, most framing details are relatively close; however, then i find my self having to fine tune all the framing members to set in the appropriate location(s). I'm sure hoping (and expecting) this software to function more smoothly than that. I suspect most of the issue is unfamiliarity with the software .. any help or assistance greatly appreciated!! (will post pics tomorrow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
