desain rumah, rancang bangun, home design, arsitek? Nih, belajar desain rumah pake CAD sederhana..

Sekarang ini banyak software CAD atau computer aided design software yang khusus bikin desain rumah atau perumahan, silahkan klik ini.

Menggunakan auto CAD tentu pilihan bagi para professional, tetapi banyak juga professional yg beralih menggunakan home architect CAD untuk keperluan lebih spesifik; rekayasa bangunan. Bertebaranproduk saoftware mulai dari yang simple, sederhana seperti keluaran brotherbund atau punchsoftware hingga yang kompleks yang dapat berintegrasi dengan auto CAD dan lain sebagainya seperti archiCAD.

Saya meski tidak ahli pada bidangnya; pernah menggunakan auto CAD yg produk autodesk, lalu yg mudah dan langsung pda point rekayasa bangunan yaitu 3D home architect deluxe, lalu punch, archiCAD dan beberapa software lainnya.

3D Home Architect Deluxe 3.0

Sekedar berbagi pengalaman dan ini juga bukan iklan gratis, :) , bagi anda yg ingin nostalgia dgn software brotherbund tempo doeloe yaitu 3dhome architext deluxe versi 3.0 atau 4.0 keluaran tahun 1996; anda bisa download di beberapa server sharing gratisan (saya gak usah cantumin link-nya, nanti dikira nyebarin software bajakan/ software terinfeksi), atau anda bisa membelinya di amazon.

Bagi anda yang ingin memulai belajar home desain, gak ada salahnya mencobanya.

Salah seorang kakak saya yang kontraktor tradisional sangat berterima kasih pada saya ketika pertama kali saya perkenalkan software ini. dijalankan pada komputer tua pentium 2 dengan windows 98 yg saya install, ia berhasil mendesain beberapa proyek bangunan dan perumahan, daipada dideain manual katanya, dan menggunakan autoCAD kan makan waktu, biaya dan sebagainya, lanjutnya.

Dulu saya pernah menggunakan versi ini untuk pertama kali belajar dan mempergunakannya mendesain beberapa bangunan. Di bawah ini contoh hasil gambar saya menggunakan 3d home architech versi 3.0:

Sederhana kan? tapi cepat selesai.Jadi anda yg hendak membangun, merehab rumah secara sederhana, atau sekadar iseng rancang-rancang rumah? Atau kandang ayam? Gak salah anda coba software ini. Jika anda sudah mahir, anda boleh beralih pada versi-versi terbarunya yang sudah sama sekali berbeda namun tetap lebih mudah dan familiar.

Dulu, sambil belajar, yah namaya juga belajar otodidak, hingga perlu 1 tahun bagi saya untuk mahir menggunakannya sebelum akhirnya saya beralih menggunakan archiCAD, saya pernah menterjemahkan file help software ini:

Begitu anda telah membuat framework dinding exterior, anda dapat menyesuaikan tinggi dinding dengan mengubah ukuran atau menggesernya. Jika anda menggambar sebuah remodel plan (plan yang bisa dibentuk ulang), anda mungkin akan ingin menggambar beberapa ruang saja. Dimulai dengan menggambar dinding yang menutupi ruangan pertama kali dan kemudian gambarlah dinding yang memisahkannya.
b. Begitu anda telah memposisikan dinding hasil desain anda, anda pasti ingin menempatkan pintu dan jendela dalam plan anda.
c. Buatlah kabinet di dapur dan kamar mandi sehingga bak mandi dapat ditempatkan di sana.
d. Tempatkan object object fixture dalam plan anda untuk mewakili perabotan, bak mandi dan berbagai perkakas anda.
e. Letakan object-object furnitur anda untuk mendemonstrasikan bagaimana plan anda berfungsi bagi anda.
f. Jika dibutuhkan, tempatkan simbol-simbol kelistrikan seperti outlet, saklar, dan lampu. Anda juga dapat menambahkan ilustrasi pengkabelan dengan cara menghubungkan simbol-simbol kelistrikan.

Atap
3D Home Architect Deluxe includes the Automatic Roof Designer, which will help you create customized roofs for all your plan files.

For specific information on using the Automatic Roof Designer in 3D Home Architect Deluxe, please select one of the following topics.
1. Automatic Roof Designer
Roofs in 3D Home Architect Deluxe are generated using the Automatic Roof Designer. You never actually see the Automatic Roof Designer, instead you see the Build Roof Dialog. When you make changes in the Build Roof Dialog, and in the Roof Section At Wall dialog, you are instructing the Automatic Roof Designer how to construct the roof for your plan.
2. Roof Section At Wall Dialog
This dialog is used to help you to set the basic roof section parameters over walls on a wall-by-wall basis to assist the Automatic Roof Designer.

The upper section of the Roof Section at Wall dialog allows you to declare the type of roof section that the wall will support. The lower section allows you to determine the roof section’s pitch as well as where a second pitch begins (for a gambrel roof, for example):
i. Full Gable wall checkbox
Check this for a gable above the wall. The wall section will be extruded up into the gable. If left unchecked, a hip is placed above the wall. This should be used where you wish a full gable to be placed. If you wish a half gable, for example at the side of a sloping roof section whose top hits a higher wall, use the High Shed/Gable wall checkbox below.

If two full gable walls meet at a corner, a valley is produced. This is necessary in order to obtain full gables on either side.

ii. High Shed/Gable wall checkbox
Check this if a sloping roof section is not to rise from this wall. For example, for a shed roof, the wall under the high side of the roof as well as the half gable walls to either side of it would have this box checked. When you need a gable, and are in doubt as to which type (full or this normal type) to use, you will usually want to use this type.

iii. Knee Wall checkbox
A Knee wall is a wall shortened by being cut off by the underside of the roof. Normally the automatic roof designer produces roof sections sufficiently high that all walls underneath can end at the rooms ceiling height, or higher if Ceiling over is not checked in the Room Specification dialog. Checking Knee Wall tells the roof designer that it need not allow for the height of the knee wall, but can determine the roof structure from the other walls, then cut off the knee wall as needed to fit under the roof.

Knee walls will usually be on the top floor for one and one half story houses. They can, and often are, exterior walls, but they must be inset from walls below, since the outer wall below will determine the sloping roof section that rises to cover the knee wall.

iv. Extend slope downward checkbox
This checkbox allows the automatic roof designer to ignore the height of this wall in determining the roof section over it. The roof section is instead determined by other walls and just extends down over this wall.

This is like the knee wall except that the roof section that covers a knee wall is usually determined by a parallel wall from the story below that is further out from the center of the building, whereas the roof section covering an extend downward wall is usually determined by a parallel wall on the same floor that is nearer to the center of the building.

The two connecting walls to the extend slope downwards wall must be gables. This function is ideal if you wish to bring a roof section out over a small jog or alcove in an outer wall so that the roof line remains the same down the run of a wall.

v. Pitch
The default value for pitch is set in the Build Roof dialog. Pitch is entered in the standard X in 12 measure. You may enter a fractional pitch in the form of 3 1/2. You may not enter 3.5. The smallest pitch that may be entered is 1/2 in 12, and the largest 48 in 12. If there are two pitches in the roof section above this wall, such as in a gambrel roof, this type-in box controls the first, or lower pitch.

vi. 2nd Pitch
Check this box if you wish a second pitch on the roof section above this wall. The second pitch is the upper pitch on the roof section, as in the higher portion of a gambrel roof.

The Starts at box indicates the height at which the 2nd Pitch begins.

Atap Lintas Pintu (Roof over Door)
Roof over Door/Window Tool
This dialog is used to help you to set the basic roof section parameters over doors or windows on an object-by-object basis to assist the Automatic Roof Designer.

When you click the Roof Section at… tool over a Door or Window, a multi-step process occurs. First, the program places a break in the wall on each side of the object. Then you will be presented with the Roof over Door/Window dialog. In this box, you have the choice of making this new wall section (which is strictly the object) a Full Gable. If you check this box, the Automatic Roof Designer will build a gable over this door/window when the Automatic Roof Designer builds the roof. To remove this gable in the future, just click the Roof Section at… tool again on the object, uncheck the Full Gable, and then have the Automatic Roof Designer rebuild the roof for your plan.

Atap Lintas Jendela (Roof Over Bay)
Roof Over Bay/Bow Window Dialog
Two checkboxes control how the Automatic Roof Designer builds a roof over these window assemblies. Place under roof slope causes the roof section defined above the wall containing the bay or bow to slope downwards over the window. If this is not checked, a multiple section roof, one section for each wall portion making up the bay or bow, is produced.

The roof over a bay or bow follows the outline of the window unless checking Rectangular roof over forces a rectangular roof. This is not necessary for a box window, which always has a rectangular roof. If Place under roof slope is not checked, a three section roof is produced to cover the bay or bow.

For a bay built under a gable end, checking the Place under roof slope box will have no effect other than to produce a warning message.

Build Roof Dialog
Use this dialog to Build Roof. You can also set various default values that control how the roofs are built.

You can set the default Roof Overhang for Normal (horizontal) eaves and for Gable (sloping) roof section edges. Values are in inches. The default is 18 inches for each.

Leave the Trusses (no birds mouth) box unchecked if you want rafters to have a birds mouth cut as they fall over the wall top plate. Check this box to have the rafters sit up on the top plate.

The Pitch box should be set to the pitch used form most sections of your roof. The pitch set here can be overridden for individual roof sections at each wall Roof Section at Wall dialog. Enter the pitch as the number of inches (sixteenths OK) of rise for 12 inches of run. The default value is 6 for a 6 in 12 pitch.

Set the width of the floor joists in the Floor Thickness edit box. The default value is 11 inches. This width includes the subfloor thickness.

Set the width of the ceiling joists in the Ceiling Thickness edit box. The default value is 5 1/2 inches.

Set the width of the rafters, including roof sheathing, with the Rafter Thickness edit box. The Default value is 5 1/2 inches.

The Fascia Width box sets the width of the fascia boards for the entire roof. The default is 7 1/2 inches.

The Min. Alcove box controls the minimum width over which the Automatic Roof Designer will build a roof over a small alcove. The roof edge will follow around alcoves measuring wider than this.

The Color and Material button assigns a color and/or material to the roof (see Assign Colors).

Atap Dalam Tampilan Kamera Penuh (Full Camera)
Places a 3D camera that shows all floors and the roof of your plan. For interior views, Plan Camera may be adequate. If you have two story rooms, open ceilings to the underside of a roof, or wish to see up or down in a stairwell, you may need to use this camera.

NOTE: A limit of four cameras can be placed per plan. This type of camera cannot be saved.

Potongan Melintang (Cross Section)
Creates a cross section or exterior elevation of all floors of your plan.

To get an exterior elevation, click outside of the plan, and drag a line directly toward it. The line determines the view direction.

Menggunakan Spesifikasi “Open Below”
The “Open Below” room specification is used to instruct the program to build no floor in the designated area. This is very useful when creating stairways going from one floor to another. If you designate a room as “Open Below”, you will be able to look down through the resulting hole, and see the stairs coming up from the bottom.

Open below is also commonly used in living spaces that span two floors, but where no floor is built between the rooms, such as in a living room, with two story windows, and a loft above. In this case, you would designate floor two as “Open Below”, and therefore floor one would appear to reach to the roof on floor two.

For more information on this Room Specification option, please look in the users manual, under “Open Below Specification”

A Word About Attics:

3D Home Architect Deluxe automatically creates an attic plan for your house the first time you do any type of 3D View or build a roof. This attic plan is saved with your house just like any other plan file, with the extension *PLn. It is important to realize which plan is the attic, and to remember not to work with this plan file. For example:

If you build a 2-story house, and then save your plan with the name TEST, you will end up with three files for this plan. The first two (TEST.PL1 and TEST.PL2) are the actual floor plans for your house. The third (TEST.PL3) is the attic plan for your house.

If you build a 3-story house with a foundation, and then save your plan with the name TEST, you will end up with five files for this plan. The first four (TEST.PL0, TEST.PL1, TEST.PL2 and TEST.PL3) are the actual floor plans for your house. The fifth (TEST.PL4) is the attic plan for your house.

If you happen to switch to an attic plan in Show Floors or open an attic plan by accident and add anything to this plan, you will experience strange results when you do a Full Overview or Cross Section. Anything you add to the attic will stick through your roof in either of these 3d views.

Mencari /menemukan sebuah Plan
3D Home Architect Deluxe comes with a database of many plans that can help get you started. You can use any of these plans as a template as you begin to design your home. You can search this database for plans that match your search criteria. This saves you the time and hassle of having to create a desirable plan completely from scratch.

Note: If you choose Minimal Installation during installation, you can access this database through the product CD-ROM. Otherwise, the database is located on your hard disk in the same directory as the 3D Home Architect Deluxe program files.

To search for plans:

1. On the File menu. click Find Plan. If necessary, insert the 3D Home Architect Deluxe CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.
2. The Plan Finder dialog box appears.
3. Enter criteria for your search (e.g., Style of home, Number of floors, etc.). Use these choices to limit your search to the homes that meet your needs. You may want to use larger numbers in the Number of floors, Square feet, Bathrooms, and Bedrooms categories to avoid overlooking flexible plans.

Square feet is commonly equivalent to living space. That is, in most cases, the listed square footage will not include the space created by non-daylight basements or garages.
Plan Finder does not search based on 1/2 baths. Please enter whole numbers into the # of baths search criteria, and Planfinder will find all plans that fit in that category, some of which may contain 1/2 baths.
Note that if you chose Remodel as Style of home, other criteria are unavailable.

Bukaan Bawah (Open Below)
Using the “Open Below” specification

The “Open Below” room specification is used to instruct the program to build no floor in the designated area. This is very useful when creating stairways going from one floor to another. If you designate a room as “Open Below”, you will be able to look down through the resulting hole, and see the stairs coming up from the bottom.

Open below is also commonly used in living spaces that span two floors, but where no floor is built between the rooms, such as in a living room, with two story windows, and a loft above. In this case, you would designate floor two as “Open Below”, and therefore floor one would appear to reach to the roof on floor two.

For more information on this Room Specification option, please look in the users manual, under “Open Below Specification”

Bay Windows Setup
Roofs over Bay, Bow, and Box Windows

Two checkboxes control how the Automatic Roof Designer builds a roof over these window assemblies. Place under roof slope causes the roof section defined above the wall containing the bay or bow to slope downwards over the window. If this is not checked, a multiple section roof, one section for each wall portion making up the bay or bow, is produced.

The roof over a bay or bow follows the outline of the window unless checking Rectangular roof over forces a rectangular roof. This is not necessary for a box window, which always has a rectangular roof. If Place under roof slope is not checked, a three section roof is produced to cover the bay or bow.

For a bay built under a gable end, checking the Place under roof slope box will have no effect other than to produce a warning message.

Build Roof
Use this dialog to Build Roof. You can also set various default values that control how the roofs are built.

You can set the default Roof Overhang for Normal (horizontal) eaves and for Gable (sloping) roof section edges. Values are in inches. The default is 18 inches for each.

Leave the Trusses (no birds mouth) box unchecked if you want rafters to have a birds mouth cut as they fall over the wall top plate. Check this box to have the rafters sit up on the top plate.

The Pitch box should be set to the pitch used form most sections of your roof. The pitch set here can be overridden for individual roof sections at each walls Roof Section at Wall dialog . Enter the pitch as the number of inches (sixteenths OK) of rise for 12 inches of run. The default value is 6 for a 6 in 12 pitch.

Set the width of the floor joists in the Floor Thickness edit box. The default value is 11 inches. This width includes the subfloor thickness.

Set the width of the ceiling joists in the Ceiling Thickness edit box. The default value is 5 1/2 inches.

Set the width of the rafters, including roof sheathing, with the Rafter Thickness edit box. The Default value is 5 1/2 inches.

The Fascia Width box sets the width of the fascia boards for all of the roof. The default is 7 1/2 inches.

The Min. Alcove box controls the minimum width over which the Automatic Roof Designer will build a roof over a small alcove. The roof edge will follow around alcoves measuring wider than this.

The Color and Material button assigns a color and/or material to the roof (see Assign Colors).

• Balusters are the support columns between the posts.

• Solid covers the distance between the two end posts with a board.

• Open supplies a handrail with no additional supports.

• Open with middle rail is the same as Open, but with an additional horizontal middle rail below the handrail spanning the distance between the two endposts.
Large Posts
The Large Posts checkbox specifies larger posts for improved support or exterior use.
Posts to Overhead Beam
The Posts to Overhead Beam checkbox places a beam on top of two posts which are extended to full height.
Pillar to Ceiling/Beam
The Pillar to Ceiling/Beam checkbox uses a round pillar instead of a standard square beam.
Exterior Colors
The Exterior Colors checkbox applies the railing color to the balusters. NOTE: This color is linked to the color for stair stringers and stair balusters.

Roof Over Door/Window
This dialog is used to help you to set the basic roof section parameters over doors or windows on an object by object basis to assist the Automatic Roof Designer.

When you click the Roof Section at… tool over a Door or Window, a multi-step process occurs. First, the program places a break in the wall on each side of the object. Then you will be presented with the Roof Over Door/Window dialog. In this box, you have the choice of making this new wall section (which is strictly the object) a Full Gable. If you check this box, the Automatic Roof Designer will build a gable over this door/window when the Automatic Roof Designer builds the roof. To remove this gable in the future, just click the Roof Section at… tool again on the object, uncheck the Full Gable, and then have the Automatic Roof Designer rebuild the roof for your plan.

Roof Section at Wall
This dialog is used to help you to set the basic roof section parameters over walls on a wall by wall basis to assist the Automatic Roof Designer.

The upper section of the Roof Section at Wall dialog allows you to declare the type of roof section that the wall will support. The lower section allows you to determine the roof section’s pitch as well as where a second pitch begins (for a gambrel roof, for example):

• Full Gable wall checkbox
Check this for a gable above the wall. The wall section will be extruded up into the gable. If left unchecked, a hip is placed above the wall. This should be used where you wish a full gable to be placed. If you wish a half gable, for example at the side of a sloping roof section whose top hits a higher wall, use the High Shed/Gable wall checkbox below.

If two full gable walls meet at a corner, a valley is produced. This is necessary in order to obtain full gables on either side.

• High Shed/Gable wall checkbox
Check this if a sloping roof section is not to rise from this wall. For example, for a shed roof, the wall under the high side of the roof as well as the half gable walls to either side of it would have this box checked. When you need a gable, and are in doubt as to which type (full or this normal type) to use, you will usually want to use this type.

• Knee Wall checkbox
A Knee wall is a wall shortened by being cut off by the underside of the roof. Normally the automatic roof designer produces roof sections sufficiently high that all walls underneath can end at the rooms ceiling height, or higher if Ceiling over is not checked in the Room Specification dialog. Checking Knee Wall tells the roof designer that it need not allow for the height of the knee wall, but can determine the roof structure from the other walls, then cut off the knee wall as needed to fit under the roof.

Knee walls will usually be on the top floor for one and one half story houses. They can, and often are, exterior walls, but they must be inset from walls below, since the outer wall below will determine the sloping roof section that rises to cover the knee wall.

• Extend slope downward checkbox
This checkbox allows the automatic roof designer to ignore the height of this wall in determining the roof section over it. The roof section is instead determined by other walls and just extends down over this wall.

This is like the knee wall except that the roof section that covers a knee wall is usually determined by a parallel wall from the story below that is further out from the center of the building, whereas the roof section covering an extend downward wall is usually determined by a parallel wall on the same floor that is nearer to the center of the building.

The two connecting walls to the extend slope downwards wall must be gables. This function is ideal if you wish to bring a roof section out over a small jog or alcove in an outer wall so that the roof line remains the same down the run of a wall.

• Pitch
The default value for pitch is set in the Build Roof dialog. Pitch is entered in the standard X in 12 measure. You may enter a fractional pitch in the form of 3 1/2. You may not enter 3.5. The smallest pitch that may be entered is 1/2 in 12, and the largest 48 in 12. If there are two pitches in the roof section above this wall, such as in a gambrel roof, this type-in box controls the first, or lower pitch.

• 2nd Pitch
Check this box if you wish a second pitch on the roof section above this wall. The second pitch is the upper pitch on the roof section, as in the higher portion of a gambrel roof.

The Starts at box indicates the height at which the 2nd Pitch begins.

Room Specification
The Room Specification dialog allows you to specify the characteristics of a room.

• Room Name specifies the name for a room. Click on the down arrow to the right of the entry field. A list of room names will appear. Select a name to apply in plan view to provide important information to the PlanCheck feature.

• Floor Height specifies the ground level of the floor. This is useful in designing split-level homes. Floor Height defaults to 0, but you can specify a negative number, and cause the floor to be lower in one room than another. When you set this value, the Ceiling Height value automatically updates to keep the ceiling level across the plan. If you want the ceiling to be 96’, but the floor to begin at -36”, you will also need to reset the ceiling height to 96”. You can use stairs to join the two different levels.

Ceiling Height specifies the distance from the floor to the ceiling in inches. Do not forget to adjust this if you set the Floor Height value to something other than 0. Otherwise, this field may display an inappropriate value.

The Color and Material button allows you to assign colors and materials to the room. For more information, see Assign Colors.

Click Floor Defaults to set the default values for your floors (e.g. Floor Height or Color).

• Ceiling Over instructs the program whether to build a flat ceiling or a cathedral ceiling. If the checkbox is checked, a flat ceiling is built and shown in 3D views. If the box is not checked, the program will not build a flat ceiling, but instead will create a cathedral (or vaulted) ceiling.

• Roof Over instructs the program whether to build a roof over the designated room or not. If the checkbox is checked, a roof will be built over this area. If the box is unchecked, no roof will be produced over this area. This is how you would specify a Deck, and have no roof built over this deck. If the Roof Over box is not checked, the ceiling over box cannot be checked, because you must have a roof in order to have a ceiling.

• Crown Mould Width and Height specifies the width of the wood moulding surrounding the room near the ceiling at the specified height from the floor. Setting the crown mould width to 0 removes a crown moulding.

• Chair Rail Width and Height specifies the width or height of the wood moulding surrounding the room at the specified height from the floor. Setting the chair rail width to 0 removes a chair rail.

• Base Mould Width specifies the width of the wood moulding surrounding the room at the floor.

Save Plan File
The Save Plan File dialog allows you to save a plan file.

• File Name is a data entry area where you can type a path name and file extension to save a plan file. Enter the name of the plan file into the File Name area. If the directory name appearing at the top of the dialog is what you wish, simply enter the file name and click SAVE to save the file. If the directory is not what you wish, enter the drive and directory names along with the file name. For example, “c:\planarea\myplan” saves a plan file named MYPLAN.PL1 in the PLANAREA directory on the C: drive. 3D Home Architect Deluxe will automatically attach the file extension to the end of the name you type–you do not have to enter it.

• Save as Type specifies the file type that is displayed in the list of available files. File type is listed by file extension name. 3D Home Architect Deluxe saves your plans in file names appearing as “xxxxxxxx.PLn” where “xxxxxxxx” represents a name and “n” is a digit between 0 (for the foundation plan) and 4 (for the fourth floor). The first floor is usually the first plan of a house to be created, and is the most often accessed, so 1 is the default digit for “n.”

NOTE: While camera views, elevations, overviews, and material lists cannot be saved, you can export them for use in another program by selecting the Export command from the File menu .

• The Reference Plan row specifies a floor which can be superimposed on a Working Plan allowing you to move walls in the Working Plan to line up appropriately with the Reference Plan. One or no boxes can be checked. The checkbox must be a different floor than the one checked for the Working Plan.

• The In Memory box is automatically checked for a former Working or Reference Plan that is removed from being in either of those categories. If a plan is neither a Working nor a Reference Plan, but is still loaded in memory, then this will be checked. A plan cannot be displayed or used unless the “Working” or “Reference” box is checked.

• The Build buttons specify a floor to build. Clicking on a Build button will bring up the New Working Plan dialog.

Show Item
The Show Items dialog box allows you to specify object visibility without permanently deleting the object. An object type that exists in the plan will be displayed when an ‘X’ appears in the box to the left of the name. When no check appears in the box, all objects of that type will be hidden from view for the currently displayed plan. This dialog box can be set differently for different views.

Roofs
Roof Section At…
Roof Section at Wall Dialog

This dialog is used to help you to set the basic roof section parameters over walls on a wall by wall basis to assist the Automatic Roof Designer.

The upper section of the Roof Section at Wall dialog allows you to declare the type of roof section that the wall will support. The lower section allows you to determine the roof section’s pitch as well as where a second pitch begins (for a gambrel roof, for example):

Full Gable wall checkbox

Check this for a gable above the wall. The wall section will be extruded up into the gable. If left unchecked, a hip is placed above the wall. This should be used where you wish a full gable to be placed. If you wish a half gable, for example at the side of a sloping roof section whose top hits a higher wall, use the High Shed/Gable wall checkbox below.

If two full gable walls meet at a corner, a valley is produced. This is necessary in order to obtain full gables on either side.

High Shed/Gable wall checkbox

Check this if a sloping roof section is not to rise from this wall. For example, for a shed roof, the wall under the high side of the roof as well as the half gable walls to either side of it would have this box checked. When you need a gable, and are in doubt as to which type (full or this normal type) to use, you will usually want to use this type.

Knee Wall checkbox

A Knee wall is a wall shortened by being cut off by the underside of the roof. Normally the automatic roof designer produces roof sections sufficiently high that all walls underneath can end at the rooms ceiling height, or higher if Ceiling over is not checked in the Room Specification dialog. Checking Knee Wall tells the roof designer that it need not allow for the height of the knee wall, but can determine the roof structure from the other walls, then cut off the knee wall as needed to fit under the roof.

Knee walls will usually be on the top floor for one and one half story houses. They can, and often are, exterior walls, but they must be inset from walls below, since the outer wall below will determine the sloping roof section that rises to cover the knee wall.

Extend slope downward checkbox

This checkbox allows the automatic roof designer to ignore the height of this wall in determining the roof section over it. The roof section is instead determined by other walls and just extends down over this wall.

This is like the knee wall except that the roof section that covers a knee wall is usually determined by a parallel wall from the story below that is further out from the center of the building, whereas the roof section covering an extend downward wall is usually determined by a parallel wall on the same floor that is nearer to the center of the building.

The two connecting walls to the extend slope downwards wall must be gables. This function is ideal if you wish to bring a roof section out over a small jog or alcove in an outer wall so that the roof line remains the same down the run of a wall.

Pitch

The default value for pitch is set in the Build Roof dialog. Pitch is entered in the standard X in 12 measure. You may enter a fractional pitch in the form of 3 1/2. You may not enter 3.5. The smallest pitch that may be entered is 1/2 in 12, and the largest 48 in 12. If there are two pitches in the roof section above this wall, such as in a gambrel roof, this type-in box controls the first, or lower pitch.

2nd Pitch

Check this box if you wish a second pitch on the roof section above this wall. The second pitch is the upper pitch on the roof section, as in the higher portion of a gambrel roof.

The Starts at box indicates the height at which the 2nd Pitch begins.

Build Roof
