Develop and Maintain Content Research and Training Modeling and Construction Documents

What we are going to cover

Review the offsets options in beam properties The two methods to sloping framing

3d Snapping capabilities Workplane associated framing

A look at Customizing a couple OTB families Quick annotations for CD’s Analytical model

Examples will be shown in steel, however all methods can be applied to other types of construction.

Presentation will be at more of an intermediate level.

Handout explains in more detail

Things we will not be covering

Sloping and manipulating floors and roofs Trusses Curved or Arched framing

Let’s get started!

Conclusion

Start and End offsets dictate your slope The Z-direction offset value is for any additional offsets Method One

Built in 3d snapping capabilities - Can have multiple slopes One Click Beam Systems Beams drawn perpendicular to horizontal plane Manual elevation editing for walls and outriggers

Method Two Drawing on a single slope workplane Beams drawn perpendicular to slope

Tips and Tricks to edit OTB families, the beam annotation tool, and editing the analytical model, I hope you can bring back some new ideas of how to make your modeling and documentation of sloped framing a bit easier.
