Architect includes a suite of tools for developing framing plans. There are tools for framing roofs, walls, and floors. Both architects and builders can take advantage of these tools to visualize framing details while still in the design stage of a project, to generate framing detail drawings, and to develop material take-off lists. The
Simple Beam Calculator command is also available for analysis of a simply-supported beam with a single load.
A roof face area worksheet can also be added to the drawing from the VA Create Schedule command or the Resource Browser. From the Resource Browser, open the Libraries\Defaults\Reports~Schedules\Architectural Reports.vwx file that is included with Architect. Drag the Roof Face Area worksheet to the drawing. The worksheet is populated with information from the objects in the current drawing.
