Forestshepherd Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I'm currently drawing plans for a pole barn that is being converted into a "barndominium". I have the roof mostly drawn but I can't figure out how to draw purlins on chief architect x12. There is a video out there already explaining how to add purlins, but the program used in the video is older and doesn't have the same prompts as x12. Attached are a photo of the roof purlins and a screenshot of what I have drawn up so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Winsor Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Wow! X12, seems like it was just yesterday but I could hardly find my way around. I didn't see anywhere to create purlins but for a work around you can use Rafter Lookouts for purlins. I just deleted the lookout on one end and extended the lookout from the other end the length of the roof. It's a bit tedious but you can adjust the dimensions of the lookouts and set their bottom heights as needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
