The
TOOLS4REVIT Rafter+
Revit extension provides a powerful set
of tools for roof wood framing and
elements scheduling. Work is based on
the final 3D roof model. Common rafter
systems (incl. jack rafters) for the
selected roof are automatically
generated on all slopes.
All you need for creating hip/valley
rafter – just do a selection of two beam
systems from the neighbor slopes (or
select all). Rafter+ automatically
detects
whether the element is a hip or
a valley rafter.
Rafter+ automatically generates a collar
beam system between two selected rafters
in opposite roof slopes. Vertical
distance from a ridge or a level to the
collar beam system can be predefined and
edited later. Collar beams can be
created on each side of a rafter pair.
Ridge and girder beams can be modeled
easily with control of notch in
(BIRD’S-MOUTH) parameters of common,
jack, hip and valley rafters. Vertical
or horizontal distance to the girder
beam can be redefined. Existing rafters
can be cut either immediately or later
with a special update function. An
update helps to edit and change
parameters of modeled rafter or beam
systems.

Openings in roof rafter systems are
detected and can be framed
automatically.

The Rafter+ Revit extension includes
several functions to insert sleepers and
trimmers, create horizontal beam
systems, generate floor beam systems
automatically, detect and frame openings
in floor slabs, cut wood beams in
consideration with opening geometry.

By using the Create Batten Systems
function it is possible to create
additional sloped or horizontal framing
on a top of rafters or floor beam
systems. This function is very useful in
numerous cases.
It is possible to create horizontal beam
systems.

The Rafter+ tool makes it easy to place
dormers. It is really simple: just
choose the frame position on your roof,
select configuration and click to place.
The program will create all structural
elements so the framing cutout will be
accurate.
You will also find framing tools helping
you to extend or trim beams, split or
recreate beam systems and so on – great
for custom framing needs. All the needed
families are included with software
installation.
Flexible scheduling technology is
introduced in Rafter+ software. It
allows you to define quickly how to mark
and sort different roof framing
elements. The Sort function groups,
sorts and numbers framing elements
according predefined solutions. Main
types of schedules as examples are
included with software installation.
