3. What we are going to cover
Review the offsets options in beam properties
The two methods to sloping framing
3d Snapping capabilities
Workplane associated framing
A look at Customizing a couple OTB families
Quick annotations for CD’s
Analytical model

4. Examples will be shown in steel, however all methods can be applied to other types of construction.
Presentation will be at more of an intermediate level.
Handout explains in more detail

5. Things we will not be covering
Sloping and manipulating floors and roofs
Trusses
Curved or Arched framing
Let’s get started!

6. Conclusion Start and End offsets dictate your slope
The Z-direction offset value is for any additional offsets
Method One
Built in 3d snapping capabilities - Can have multiple slopes
One Click Beam Systems
Beams drawn perpendicular to horizontal plane
Manual elevation editing for walls and outriggers
Method Two
Drawing on a single slope workplane
Beams drawn perpendicular to slope
Tips and Tricks to edit OTB families, the beam annotation tool, and editing the analytical model, I hope you can bring back some new ideas of how to make your modeling and documentation of sloped framing a bit easier.
