FrameVerk product guide

Roof framing connected to the timber-frame project

Define the roof shape, slope, direction, spacing and overhang while keeping roof members connected to the building below, then inspect the framing in 3D before using it in material planning.

What this changes in your workflow

Create roof framing with roof-specific inputs instead of manually drawing every member.

Review the roof together with walls, posts and beams in the same spatial model.

Carry emitted roof members into the same timber and cut-list workflow as the rest of the frame.

From idea to usable project information

01
Choose the roof form and set its principal dimensions, slope and direction.
02
Configure member spacing and overhangs, then inspect the resulting framing in 2D and 3D.
03
Resolve the design with the appropriate professional before exporting material information.

Inspect the roof with the frame below it

The public house demo shows a roof in the same model as the walls and openings.

Its footprint is 8 × 10 m (≈ 26′ 3.0″ × 32′ 9.7″).

Rotate the house to inspect the roof from several sides. Compare the roof edges with the frame below them.

Use the example to identify the details your own project needs. Project dimensions and member sizes require their own checks.

Set the inputs that control the roof

Roof form, slope, direction, member spacing and overhang each affect the model. Review the result in both 2D and 3D after a change.

Start with a clear footprint. The L-shaped roof guide shows how the plan area differs from the roof surface and material quantities.

Keep a record of the dimensions and roof inputs you use. This makes later design changes easier to review.

Check roof members before material planning

Roof members connect to the same material workflow as the rest of the frame. Review their sections and lengths after a roof change.

Keep pieces with different lengths or cuts separate when you prepare material groups. Use roof member records for roof-only quantities.

Request professional review of spans, bearings and connections before construction. The public demo provides a model for inspection; editor access requires an invitation.
