Complex roofs with exposed framework can be created in just a few steps using the attached roof tools. For the shape and the roof design, you can choose to use the Roof Wizard (Assistant) or to draw walls and roofs manually. In both cases, the result will be identical, although it should be emphasised that thanks to the freedom of design, it is possible to create unrestricted shapes and thus also floor plan that have not been included in the assistant. At any time, it is possible to change any roof parameter and get real time changes. The same happens with the assistants of Dormers, Roof Windows and Chimneys. The wooden framework that houses them is automatically recalculated and adapted.
Roof
Dormer
Carport
Advanced Wizard (Assistants) of Roofs and Dormers to quickly and easily create single or double roof framework by setting pitches, sections and dimensions of the purlins, rafters and roof packages, and then the light framework, insulation and boarding
Timber roofs with double framework to design ventilated roofs, for example, by setting the double framework composed by double rafters and purlins directly in the roof assistant.
Careful placement of rafters and collar beams by setting self-adaptive (dynamic) or fixed (forced) interaxis
Automatic rafter tails/sprockets by one-click
Recessed/Projecting Eaves with a couple of clicks
Customisable catalogue of roof tiles and roof packages
With the ‘Framework under top plate level’ tool, it is very easy and quick to create pergolas or special wind braced timber framework. Only three clicks are needed! Automatically generates studs/posts, noggings, knee braces and automatic wall bracing (wind braces)!
Multiple placement of Beams, Posts, Rafters and Collar Beams along any clicked plane e by setting auto-adaptive (dynamic) or fixed (forced) interaxis
3D measurements of lengths and surfaces
...and much more!
WOODCON B - WALL MODULE
The wall tool allows the detailed configuration of wooden and non-wooden layers. In fact, are managed frame layers (composed by studs and plates), panels (OSB, plasterboard, etc.), solid wooden layers (CLT/XLAM), Block House beams, battens, boardings, as well as general uniform layers for insulating or masonry. For example, a building with brick walls could be renovated and fitted with new internal layers of wooden frames. For corner wall joints, a special tool is available that allows you to configure your own system of joining rules for the two corner walls to be permanently connected. Specifically, the software is instructed, by means of a selection and a check mark, that one layer of one of the two walls must be lengthened or shortened to reach a specific layer of the other wall. Once you have chosen how each layer is to behave, you save the rule you have just created forever and use it on command (with a click) by selecting the two walls to be joined. The software will then generate the expected corner joints. Among other things, the same tool optionally allows the automatic generation of extra corner support studs.
