I am a first-time VW (or BIM) user. I have built three models whose floorplans and 3D models look great. As an AutoCad draftperson from the 1980s-90s, I am amazed at much work is done for me. But now it is on to elevations, brace wall analyses, etc.
Wes' comment about VWA producing rafters sounds great. I created a Dutch Hip roof using AEC>Create Roof after using the Rectangle tool to set on my walls. This too amazed me. In Top Plan, I then clicked on this roof object (which looks great under GL) with AEC>Framing>Roof Framer. This produces the expected Framer dialogue box, but all the relevant option selections and buttons are grayed out. The roof object upon which I am clicking is of class Roof-Main. Would you kindly direct me? All my reading and YouTube watching has not helped me so far.
