Select the tile roof parameters and calculate the new slope length in the dialog box.
Select eave (1)
Click the button and then click the reference eave in the drawing window. Select the eave according to which you want to determine the beam spacing. The slope length from ridge to eaves is refreshed in the Shorter dist (2) and Longer dist (3) fields. The slope length is determined in one of the following ways:
The representation method of the roof is a packed basic volume: the basic volume determines the slope length.
The Slope length from selected layer check box is clear: the basic volume determines the slope length.
The Slope length from selected layer check box is selected: The clicked layer determines the slope length. You can click a layer when the roof has been expanded to layers.
Shorter dist. (2), Longer dist. (3)
If the eave is slanting, the distances of the shorter and longer sides from the ridge of the slope are refreshed in the text fields. Select the dimension to be used to determine the beam spacing by clicking the Select button next to the dimension.
If the eave is straight, the dimensions area equal and the content of the field (Slope length used in calculations) is refreshed automatically.
Eave trim (A), Eave tile (B), Ridge tolerance (C)
Type the values of the parameters affecting the slope length in the text fields.
Eave trim (A) = Total thickness of eave trims. The default value has been defined in the system settings with the keyword eave_width.
Eave tile (B) = distance of the 1st beam from the eave. The default value has been defined in the system settings with the keyword eave_tile.
Ridge tolerance (C) = distance of the last beam from the ridge. The default value has been defined in the system settings with the keyword ridge_tol.
In the figure below, dimension L is the slope length to be calculated.
Max. tile spacing
Enter the maximum allowed tile spacing in the text field.
The default value is primarily read from the framing library. If the structure cannot be found in the library, the default value is read from a FRAMING type layer of the structure. The value is read from topmost FRAMING type layer, which is located under the topmost COVER type layer. The base layer of the structure is not considered. If the default value cannot be read from the structure, it is read from the system settings. The default value has been defined in the system settings with the keyword max_spacing.
Tile spacing, Number of tiles
Calculate the beam spacing (£ Max. tile spacing) fitting to the slope length and the number of tiles by clicking the Calculate button. The beam spacing is used to calculate the new slope length, and the value of the parameter is also refreshed in the Tile spacing field in the New slope length box.
Select eave (1)
Click the button and then click the eave to be moved in the drawing window.
You can click the same eave you selected as
the reference eave as well.
Shorter dist. (5), Longer dist. (6)
If the eave is slanting, the distances of the shorter and longer sides from the ridge of the slope are refreshed in the text fields. Select the dimension to be used to determine the offset by clicking the Select button next to the dimension.
If the eave is straight, the dimensions area equal and the content of the field (Slope length used in calculations) is refreshed automatically.
Number of tiles
The program calculates the number of tiles automatically. The first tile on the eave is left out of the number. The correction parameters take into account the missing tile. If you modify the beam spacing, calculate the number of tiles by clicking the Calculate button below the text field.
Tile spacing
You can accept the spacing the program has calculated, or you can type a desired value in the text field. If you decide to use your own value, calculate the number of tiles by clicking the Calculate button below the Number of tiles field.
Correction params
The program calculates the value in the field using the parameters Eave trim (A), Eave tile (B) and Ridge tolerance (C).
Correction params = B - A + C
New slope length
Calculate the new slope length by clicking the Calculate button below the field. The change in the slope dimension is refreshed in the Displacement field.
Displacement
Change of slope dimension compared to the old one.
Move
If you want to move another eave of the same slope, accept the displacement you have calculated for the first eave by clicking the Move button. The program moves the eave according to the calculated displacement. Proceed by clicking another eave to be moved. Finally, close the dialog box window by clicking OK.
OK
Accept the last calculated displacement of slope dimension and close the dialog box by clicking OK. The program moves the eave according to the calculated displacement.
