Mike_Borean Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hello folks, I hope someone out there knows how to set default settings for roofs and for framing. It is frustrating to have to reset the roof parameters every time I create a roof. For example, the eve profile default to double, I almost always use vertical. Why does the bearing height almost always default to something other than 0? For framing, I would like VW to default to certain settings. For example: 1. The elevation to top of joists is rarely the same. I would like it to default to - 3/4", same with the perimeter framing members. 2. The joist properties, 2D display defaults to centerline. I would like it to default to width. If there is a way so set these and other settings, I cannot find it. Anyone? Thanks Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You could go to Tools>Plugins>Plugin Manager>desired Plugin>Customize and edit the values ... Thought about doing this to get rid of the carryovers of imperial units in Tool defaults. But I bet that will get lost with each new VW release or even SP. Quote Link to comment
Mike_Borean Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Zoomer, Thanks for the suggestion, however, I was unable to find where to change the settings for roofs and for framing. Mike Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 It would be in PluginManager > Built in Plugins TAB > RoofFramer But I see there is nothing in to edit, other than f.e. for Window or Door Plugin. Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Ah, is perhaps in "FramingMember" something you wanted to change ? Quote Link to comment
