WOOD FRAMING ROOF FRAMING CONFIGURATION
Framing Configuration Framing Configuration – here user can define all framing parameters. It allows user to configure and save settings for all sorts of frames – main roof Frames, Secondary Frames, Battens and Roofing. It is very versatile with thousands of different possibilities. 2
Framing Configuration Framing Configuration dialog is divided into four main parts: Top, Left, Center and Right. TOP In Top part choose Configuration Type, which you want to use, and Configuration Name, which you want to modify. Left part lets you select framing options going in a easy top-down approach. LEFT CENTER RIGHT Center part – the settings. Right part shows a symbolic picture of the part you are modifying. 3
Framing Configuration Material Class – defines material. Wood Framing Roof uses Wood and Metal Framing Roof uses Metal. Configuration Type – choose type of framing you want to configure. Possible options – Frame, Secondary Frame, Batten, Roofing: 4
Framing Configuration Configuration Name – configuration with all framing settings. You can use sample or create new configurations. You can also rename or delete existing configurations. By default, Roof framing configurations are saved in C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Tools 4 Revit\Roof 2015 Configurations (or other version)\Framing Configuration catalogue. The content from this catalogue can be copied to other user’s computer if needed. The path can be also changed in Roof Configuration Files’ Location 5
Framing Configuration One framing configuration contains a folder and XML file under the same name: 6
Common Settings Use for all Framing Elements (except Openings) – if ticked then selected joists and rim joist families will be used for other framing elements, like connections, bridgings, noggings, etc. without an option to change it to a custom family. Main Type of Joists (or Rim Joists) – select a family and type for the Joists or Rim Joists. Sample families Metric Joist – M Roof Frame Common Joist Metric Rim Joist – M Roof Frame Valley Hip Board Imperial Joist – I Roof Frame Common Joist Imperial Rim Joist – I Roof Frame Valley Hip Board Do not use any other families, except the ones which are loaded with Roof ! Width (b) – shows the width, b parameter value from selected family type Depth (h, d) – shows the depth, h or d parameter value from selected family type. Define Depth (h, d) by Layer Thickness – the software will use or create new type for selected family and change depth value to the roof layer thickness. So the frames will fit the layer of the roof. Roof Frame Panels – if ticked, then roof frames are assembled in manufactory, if unticked – assembled on-site. 7
Main framing elements Rim Joist 2 Common Joist Bridging/Nogging/Blocking Edge Joist Rim Joist 1 8
Main framing elements according to slope position Rim Joist 2 Header 2 Left Right First Joist Last Joist Header 1 Rim Joist 1 9
Common Settings Element Mark Definitions tab – naming convention of framing members. You can set individual mark settings for each part of the frame for easy preparation of shop drawings. Framing Member Mark – symbol used for marking framing elements. Those values will be automatically added to the frame after pressing Frame Roof. 10
Common Settings for All Configurations Common Settings for All Configurations – the settings that will work for all configurations. So it doesn't matter which one is selected Auto Detect Copied Framed Object – keeps strong a link between framing elements and a roof after manual user copy process. We made a possibility to reestablish the association between the copied frame and the roof. 11
Common Settings for All Configurations Add Roof into Frame Assembly – adds a roof into assembly with shop drawings Add Windows/Doors/ Openings into Frame Assembly – adds windows, doors or openings into frame assembly. In such case, window will be assembled together with a frame. It can also be tagged in the assembly views. Calculate Window/Door/Opening Mass – adds window, door or opening weight into the common weight/mass of assembly. 12
Common Settings for All Configurations Add details hosted on part (on roof) into Frame Assembly – includes details, which where added into a roof or roof part, into assembly with shop drawings 13

Common Settings for All Configurations For Mass calculation Roof uses material which is assigned to Structural Framing category and subcategories: Density is mandatory material parameter for weight calculation: 15
Common Settings for All Configurations Align Frame with Bottom Face – aligns frame with bottom face of the roof. This function is convenient when the roof is created using shape editing tools. Unticked Ticked 16
Common Settings for All Configurations Split Rim Joist perpendicular – rim joist will be split perpendicularly during splitting process. Unticked Ticked 17
Common Settings for All Configurations Minimal Top or Bottom Tile Joist “Cut Length”– define the minimal top or bottom tile “Cut Length” for the openings. If needed. the tile joists can be deleted using Delete Tile Joists if “Cut Length” is Less than Minimal. For example, top tile joists were deleted because the length is less than 2. Bottom tile joists stay 18
Common Settings for All Configurations Allow to rename families and types – feature allows to rename families and types. Steps: 1. Tick Allow to rename families and types checkbox; 2. Click Save – to save all predefined configurations, including names and types of all used families; 3. Rename needed families or types; 4. Open Framing Configuration Modify Settings tab again; 5. Untick Allow to rename families and types checkbox; 6. Click Save – to save all predefined configurations, including renamed families and types. 19

Details on Bridging/Blocking/Rim Joist Type – select detail family and type that will be used. Insert Details – framing can be made with or without these elements. Choose based on personal preference. Use “Add Details” command – details will be placed only after pressing Roof Add Details on the frame. Recommended workflow: create frame without details; add additional elements; split elements if needed; and in the final step - add details. This will allow users to save time during updating process when framing roof. 84
Details on Bridging/Blocking/Rim Joist Rotate 90 , 180 – if ticked, then rotates bracing 90 or/and 180 degrees. Rotation depends on how the family is created Offset from Joist Side – detail insertion placement: from joist to right, left, left and right, external, or internal faces, or between two joists. Possible options: Offset – distance between the detail and a joist. 85
Details on Bridging/Blocking/Rim Joist Measure from Location Line – if ticked, then the distance for detail placement will be calculated from the location line of Bridging/Nogging/Blocking. Measure from Joist Web Faces – if ticked, then the distance for detail placement will be calculated from joist web faces. 86
Details on Bridging/Blocking/Rim Joist Location settings – predefine detail position on top or bottom faces of rims, sloped rims, bridgings, noggings, headers, etc. Include Opening – if ticked, then the details will be inserted on elements above and below the openings. Min. Distance between Joists – define the minimal distance between joists for details to be inserted. In such case, you will eliminate detail placements between joists that are very close to each other. Include Details to Update – after update process, the details will stay. 87
