Divide a Sheathing into Fields with a Polyline

Framer, Floor Framing & Rafters

This function can be used to divide a horizontal structure or sheathing into fields. You can define individual origin points and sheathing directions for each field.

Divide sheathing into fields with a polyline as follows:

  1. Select a structure and a layer of type SHEET.

    Select a Structure and a Layer

  2. Select Plane Structure | Framing | Framing Gallery Base Point.
  3. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  4. Select Add Split > By Poly.
  5. Select the points of the division line, locking the cursor if necessary.
  6. After selecting the end point of the division line, select Confirm.

Note

  • The division line should continue unbroken from one end of the horizontal structure to the other, but should not go over the end.
  • When sheathing is divided into fields, the program will add one origin point to each field. You can change the direction of the sheathing by editing the origin point.
  • Update the sheathing by selecting Add Sheathing.
