  • Special timber elements.

    But it should not be very difficult to program I think (well of course I don't know). It is only to tell the program that this and this and this material / profile, belongs together so they would act as one beam.... It would be very nice, and would increase the level of the Dietrichs program.

  • Special timber elements.

    Can it be another problem - that I prefer to work in mm but the material database works in m, and then that causes a conflict? I will see.



    I have an idea for a solution to this - it might not be possible now, but it could be done in an update:


    In the material database you define each of the 3 parts with different textures, that the I-beam (or box beams for that matter, 4 parts) - and then there should be a possibility to tell the material database that these 3 items should be put together and act as one beam.

  • Special timber elements.

    Interesting - when I did that with my inthermo, but it didn't work - it was wrong orientated and way to big. But maybe because I used posts - maybe it is possible as girts, but they are only horizontal


    Another thing is that I wanted to use that kind of facade boards and I used WBOAK, but they did not get that profile. So maybe I should userdefine my prefered facadeboards.

  • Special timber elements.

    Ok - thanks for the explanation. Of course I was thinking of the same way to solve it - by using 3 items - but of course this will not work very well in timber lists. But could be OK - if I decide to produce the I-beams on my building side, and not buy them.


    In the picture below, you can see the results of tonights experiments. Of course the connectors between massive wood elements are cheeting, because they are inside the massive wood. But they are there! Another thing is that I am not sure if I used the correct texture for the massive wood - it doesn't look completely correct.

  • Special timber elements.

    There one thing I don't like so much - the texture for the I-beams is so that all the I-beam looks like OSB but the flanges should be timber (SPF) or Kerto (Finnforest use Kerto) - is it not possible to do so? It doesn't look so nice to me.

  • Special timber elements.

    No it seems like I cannot use the profile settings in wall design - even though I define it under beams. But all right - I just have to be satisfied with using panels.


    But it is not so funny... :lol: I like the idea of being able to create a 100% realistisc model of the house constructions, but it seems to be only 99% possible... ;)

  • Special timber elements.

    Ok - now I am ready for my next post ;) - and I am sorry Rob Cullen but I read about your two cuts in one end of beam.... :)


    Well - I went to material database and I wanted to define a Inthermo board with N + F (nut and feder).


    And that was quite easy - but two things didn't work exactly as I thought it would:


    I defined a profile - why my board is rectangular in wall design?


    I defined the thickness, length and width of board - why I have to define those again when I define new panel in wall design?

  • Special timber elements.

    Ok - I look forward to take a look in the material database - it is a part of the program that I have not yet studied, very much - but it is a interesting part. Maybe I would like to define my own I-beams, because I would probably not have them delivered from Agepan - or maybe I would if the prizes are ok. Thinking of it I would have Inthermo delivered from Inthermo in Germany, because we don't have such product in Denmark, so why not also Agepan I-beams. FinnForest have I-beams - I should compare prizes from Finnforest and Agepan.

  • Split a wall into shorter walls?

    Hello. Rob Cullen - yes I have seen the preview option, and yes it can be quite useful, if you have to work with MOS and D-cam - but that would be my last option if I have no other options because it is a bit difficult to work in D-cam and MOS.


    Rob Cullens and Der_planner's answers are a bit opposite - or maybe just two ways. What Rob Cullen said was what I was thinking to do - and starting new buildings I think about the length of the wall elements when I draw the walls in groundplan. But in stead of using MOS I think I would use wall macro to reassign some of the timbers belonging to the "cut away wall" - that is easier than MOS I think (maybe).


    Der_planners suggestion sounds even better - but I don't remember to have seen any "split cut" option to cut a wall. But if it is there I think I would like that method - maybe. With this method the wall will still be 15 m long for example but split into two parts?

  • Special timber elements.

    Now I am quite familiar working with normal timbers like SPF say 47x225 in walls as top- and bottomplates, posts, joists, rafters etc. And I now how to put OSB plates on the the wall or at the ceiling.


    Now I want to do something more special (for my own house I want the best...).


    The Inthermo plates would be easy enough - just use plates and instead of OSB plate dimensions use inthermo dimensions and a texture/color that fits. And maybe the same princip for massive wood elements.


    But I guess it is possible to do it in a better and more professional way. I think that in the material database I can define my own I-joists, and maybe also inthermo plates and massive wood elements, called for instance I-joist 300, Inthermo 40 and massive 65. - So when I am in wall design and want to put in posts the I just call I-joist 300, and the same with the Inthermo and massive wood elements.


    The advantage of this could be that in material lists, I would get specified amounts of I-josts 300, Intermo 40's, and massive 65's.


    And also it might be possible to define fether and notes in the inthermo plates (aahh nut + feder in german), and the cutouts in the massive wood elements for the connectors. The connectors I think I can just put in as OSB plates in the wall design.

  • Split a wall into shorter walls?

    So - you mean, in ground floor I can adjust the walls to a certain length, and add new walls at that part of wall, that is deleted?


    And then in wall design I can cut the timbers in that part of wall that staied and I could before deleting the timber that is now outside the wall - use wall macro to save the timbers for the other part of the wall (the new wall).
