Rafters

You can use this tool to create series of rafters.

Beam

You can use this tool to create beams.

Header

You can use this tool to create headers at rafter-supporting purlins, beams, collar beams or collar ties.

Hip, Valley Rafter

You can use this tool to create hip and valley rafters.

Roof Beam

You can use this tool to create roof beams.

Collar Beam

You can use this tool to create collar beams that are placed between rafters or between rafters and posts or between timber elements.

Collar Tie

You can use this tool to create collar ties that are placed between rafters or between rafters and posts.

Post

You can use this tool to create posts.

Steel, Timber Element

You can use this tool to create steel or timber elements like struts, braces, inclined slabs, for example.

Rafter-Supporting Purlins

You can use this tool to create rafter-supporting purlins and battens.

Elevation Point

You can use this tool to determine the height of an architectural component and place an elevation symbol with a label.

Label

You can use this tool to label all architectural elements, advanced elements, instances of smart symbols and objects created in the Object Manager module at a later stage.

Function

Use

Change Archit. Properties

You can use this tool to display and modify the architecture-specific properties of any architectural element. You can also change different architectural elements in a single operation.

Show/Hide Junctions

You can use this tool to show or hide junction lines (for example, the lines where walls intersect).

Update Labels

You can use this tool to update the labels for all the architectural elements in the loaded, active documents. In the case of large circular spaces (e.g., rooms based on a 2D circle), the area is calculated according to pi and labeled.

Delete Component Number

You can use this tool to delete the component numbers assigned to architectural elements.

Restore 3D View

You can use this tool to restore the three-dimensional view of architectural elements.

Find Elements

You can use this tool to define selection criteria for finding objects and architectural elements in the active, loaded documents. The elements found are highlighted and can be further processed.

Modify Placed Timber, Steel Elements

You can use this tool to modify the parameters of steel and timber elements placed.

Update Steel, Timber Elements

You can use this tool to recalculate the 3D representation of steel and timber elements.

Intersect Steel, Timber Elements with Archit. Components

You can use this tool to make steel and timber elements (e.g. rafters or beams) intersect existing architectural components (e.g. roof covering).

Adjust Hip, Valley Rafter in V-Shaped Manner

You can use this tool to modify hip rafters and valley rafters so that their bottom side adjusts in a V-shaped manner to the roof pitch.
