Looks like we will also need to add in hip walls for these "half hip" type roofs:
I've also added in the Dutch Gable option for roof planes as well:
This almost completes my work on complex roof in the house builder. Of course some additional work remains in connecting the House Builder to the Truss plugin's API. I will also need to enable the API with some new methods for complex roofs, but that work is relatively straightforward.
Tomorrow I will look at the Roof Plan tab and probably add in a few more roof specific annotation options. Then from there we double check that the Print and DXF functions are wired up correctly.
And then finally we move on to Foundations.
However, this additional work on complex roofs has exposed the fact that I need to enable additional wall types in this app.
-
First look at some exterior trim applied to a couple "test houses". Corner trim, band board, skirt board and frieze board.
-
DXF output now enabled for Slab-on-Grade foundations.
-
Interior Bearing (ie. footing + post & beam) are now added to the House Builder.
-
First look at a basic Slab. The underlying code is very similar to a slab-on-grade so I should be able to complete this one more quickly.
-
First look at column footings:
-
First look at polyline stemwalls. Note that stemwalls and footings that are at the same Z height will auto merge for presentation purposes.
-
First look at a stemwall foundation with openings and a floor slab.
-
I've also enabled the entry stair option for foundation door openings
-
I'm now spending a day or two integrating the eight different foundation assemblies into the elevation views. Here is a couple examples of column footings:
-
I am now trying to wrap up stemwall foundations and the addition of windows, doors and blockouts, all within the elevation views. After further testing I'm noticing that all of this added complexity does potentially slow down the app/tool when enough windows, doors and dimensions are added. I will need to spend a few more days tightening up my "redraw" algorithms so that performance is maximized. The last thing we want is a sluggish interface.
