taoist Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Hello all, Wondering if anyone has residential framing worksheets from sill plate to interior trim they would like to share. In other words, complete takeoff. Any tips, tricks or help would be great also. Just getting started in this arena. Look forward to the responses. Am willing to help to learn explore this. We could take a very simple model and then proceed from there. Say a ranch 1,000 square foot Vinyl, carpet, hardwood flooring Asphalt/Fiberglass shingles Stick frame or truss roof Corner boards Vinyl or clapboard siding Concrete or Block Foundation Double Hung Windows Painted drywall interior Door & Window casings Interior Doors you know, the usual full blown list of what it takes to build a house turnkey. Look forward to the selections. I am sure we will have suggestions for the minds at Vectorworks. Remember, today's solutions are tomorrows problems.

taoist Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 I have been working on Wall Framing Worksheets. Concrete Footers Concrete Foundation Walls Framed Exterior Walls Reporting: Wall Length Wall Height OSB Siding Drywall I have discovered wall lengths do not report as dimensioned. Need to add wall thickness to function. In this case, 2x4 wall, 1/2" OSB. Ex: = length+.2916 .2916 = 3-1/2". Length is expecting feet, so must convert 3-1/2"" to decimal. 3.5/12=.2916666 Thought it might be due to me using center of wall to draw. Tried using left control, makes no difference. When I edit my wall, OIP dimensions to center of wall. Maybe due to miter join and not butt join. Need to look into. 1 Quote Link to comment
taoist Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Update: As far as I am able to determine, the reason for wall length in OIP not matching the dimension number, has to do with the Wall Component Settings, Master Snap Points. Check only which side you want to snap to and for which material for dimensioning purposes. In my case, need to check Master Snap Points to dimension to outside face of wall sheathing, and inside face of wall stud. I made the needed corrections, and so far, all is well. I unchecked the settings for drywall, & siding as this is an exterior wall, and we do not dimension to drywall being new home builders. Rod 1 Quote Link to comment
