  1. @Wes Gardner I'm afraid I don't see a whole lot of point in being able to frame something conceptually... that level of architectural detail should be accurate

     

    is there any way of using the other framing tools, such as having an array where you can adjust the centres?

     

    i was evening wondering if you could put framing or structural members inside of symbols, for example, where you will have repeating windows and therefore have the repeating sill, cripple studs etc... therefore if i edit one window, and edit the height of the sill within the symbol, it will update the framing around my other window instances.

     

    or can i join a stud to a header so that if i move the height of the header, the stud height adjusts too?

  2. @Luka Stefanovic more complaints on the wall framing tool - sorry!

    it doesnt even read how i've joined the corner of my wall - it's ignored the fact that another component extends along with the wall (in this case the OSB sheathing) 

    it only joins the sole and header plates with a mitre join, which i won't be doing because these are for off-site constructed panels

    and it hasn't place studs at the end of the wall which is structurally not an option!

     

    see the 2nd pic for how we would like to frame it...

  3. @Tom W. linear metre total is needed for our embodied carbon analysis

    but thhe more data we can obtain, the better.

    the issue with the wall framing tool is that it doesnt update if you, for example, move a wall. you have to run the whole thing again. or even if you just double up a stud, it doesnt update on the worksheets which is very annoying.

    also everything is extrudes so it runs separately to framing a floor slab or roof.

    it's also very tricky to run in general, making all the layers and sheets and 2D drawings gets very messy. as an automatic tool it needs a lot of refinement

    @Luka Stefanovic are any of these improvements likely to happen any time soon?

  4. @Luka Stefanovic i'm not sure that i understand the different between the framing member tool, and the structural member tool. I have been using the former.

    also, neither of these seem to support vertical elements, only horizontal. what's best for modelling and quantifying vertical timber studs for example?

  5. @Matt Hall i'm having the same problem!

    i also cannot reshape the slab

    if i double click and choose 'edit boundary', there is no shape/polygon corresponding to the slab and i get the error message "the geometry for the slab you are editing cannot be computed"

    prevously my slabs were linked to walls but every time i reopened the file it lost its associations and the offets became really odd dimensions, like the concrete slab  sticking out half a meter past the walls.

  6. Wall timber framing AEC tool problem - not aligned with windows

     

    when i run framing when internal walls are joined to the external walls, i get a strange problem that makes the frame (studs, header and sole plates) go at an angle and stick out of the wall

     

    when i unjoin these and run the tool, the studs do not match up with my external openings

     

    also does anyone know if i delete or add any extra studs if the worksheets will update

  7. This file keeps randomly crashing

    I think it's mostly happening when working on a sheet layer.

    I think also the service pack was recently updated - possibly SP3?

     

    I've got a pretty powerful PC so not sure why i am having this problem

    I've attached my PC info and the file itself in case anyone can find anything obviously wrong with it!

  8. I'm trying to create a section viewport on a really simple model of a house

    there's nothing unusual about it!

    but when i create section viewport (to a new or existing sheet layer) i just get a tiny box with a red X cross in it.

    I've tried making sure the layers and classes are on and messed around with a few settings but nothing seems to work
