Adding Battens to a Tile Roof Layout

Architectural, Framer

After you have added the necessary eave macros to a tile roof layout, add the battens to the layout.

  1. Select the roof slopes in the roof layout. Click the slopes one by one with the Ctrl key pressed down, or click one slope and then select all slopes by pressing Ctrl+A.
  2. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
  3. Select Generate Roof Siding and Blocking.

    The program highlights the first roof slope in color.

  4. The roofing properties of the slope are opened in the Roof Cover Parameters dialog box. Check the roofing properties, such as the material code, name and color.
  5. If you have already added the battens earlier, remove the old battens by selecting Delete in the message box.
  6. The program highlights the next roof slope in color. Continue by selecting roofing properties for each slope.
Note:
  • The batten spacing has been defined in the roof properties.
  • The battens are created similarly to a framing of a horizontal structure. The battens are profiles and you can handle them with profile functions.
