Flat Roof with Structural Memebers

[josueq4]

What I have is a structurally sloped roof at 1/4"/ft

How can I model this with the slight slope and 11 7/8" TJI structural member's?

I want to be able to cut a section, and see the TJI profile at correct spacing and correct slope depending at what side I cut. I also need to see no ridges or crickets in plan...

Help?

Set the Framing Member slope to 14.04 degrees (= 1/4"/foot = 3:12).

If you are using plywood sheathing, use the Roof Face tool to create 3:12 slope faces, the desired sheathing thickness on top of the Framing Members.

Thanks!

So this is sort of the manual way to do this... I was hopping there was a quick way I could model a roof with the Create Roof tool at the appropriate thickness & pitch, then with the Roof Framer tool quickly set the 20 or more framing members that Id need...

This works too though!

p.s. the angle Im using is 1.19 degrees to get the 1/4" per foot slight slope.

create your roof at required pitch then 3 gable ends and you can use your framing tool but it is no quicker

1/4"/ft slope = .25:12

Not 3:12

in fact ... 1/4" / ft ...= 1:48 = 1.1935?... is really minimal = a flat shed roof

be extra careful ... this is one of the hardest roofs to detail properly.
