Timber frame is pretty easy. You may need to make some structural families that don't exist. Do you have a sketch of what you are trying to make?

Ya, I've got sketches and cad drawings. I'm new to the Revit Scene, generaly I use a Timber Framing software called CadWork to create my models, now I'm strugling to accuratly manipulate a stick of lumber.
any suggestions?
Yeah, I know people love this stuff, these plug-ins...its a "market opportunity", but I hate it.
I hate the idea of re-establishing the AutoCAD and ArchiCAD plug-in market for Revit. Its a simple way for the manufacturer to not develop stuff and a way for them to provide "partnering" which is a cozy little snuggle to others to make cash , adding perceived value to the product which really, I feel is the rightful place of the manufacturer/ ing / developer of this awesome product - to take pride in developing any of the natural developments and increasing the market share and bottom line for company shareholders, by doing making an ever better product, rather than a mousetrap.
We get rail roaded again. Bummer.
(sorry for the negs, but it has to be said.)
