Rafters

[Thomas Cummings]

I just found out that a little program I use called Easy Rafters, http://www.easyrafters.com/, exports to .dxf. (2d)

Makes me wonder if it could be a jump start to parametric families of rafters.

Oh, the possibilities, the variables, the headaches.

Thats a potentially useful program thanks ~ we'll have to wait for meric version ~
very useful for contractor /supplier relationships.

Pity that it doesn't calculate loads ~ I could really use a simple program like that for Post & Beam Purlins Rafter Calcs all basic simple Timber stuff ~ any links out there??

~ we'll have to wait for meric version ~
Version 3.1 for metric is now available.

a number of them here in Oz comes to mind like:
Timber Solutions - calculates timber sizes, bracing & tie-downs
designIT calcs for LVL's & MGP timber (www.chhfuturebuild.com)
Tasbeam (www.tasbeam.com.au)


you'll have to immigrate

Beegee's right again ~ I didn't check the 3.1 What's New & went by the rest of the Blurb

Blads ~ Thanks I'll check these more carefully
Emigrate ???? ~ Is the £10 passage still available??
