    To clarify my last post, when there is any reduction in a beam, the tenon function does not recognize the reduction and creates a housing the full size of the beam :frowning_face: (see attachment). I'd like to see the tenon tool recognize the reduction and make the housing the correct size for the reduced beam.


    The ideal :face_with_tongue: would be a housed tenon tool which also made the reductions in the beam. Maybe this is too much to do in one step...


    Thanks,

    Michal,
    I have been working with Dietrich's for ten months and find it very useful and worthwhile. Previously I drew everything with a 2D CAD program, starting with wall and bent views, then creating the individual piece drawings (four sides and end views as needed) from these.


    With Dietrich's I find that I can create the 3D model as quickly as I could previously draw the 2D views (though to get there required some training and time spent on the learning curve). From the 3D model it is relatively easy to get 2D elevation views. As Rob mentioned, it is also easy to have single timber drawings produced and dimensioned showing two sides and an end view. Bringing in the other two views if you need them is relatively easy but tedious if you have a lot of them to do.


    I have been told the automated production of six views (four side views and two end views) fully dimensioned is now being developed. This will save having to bring in (or draw) the other two views.


    One the more useful things I have found in working in 3D is the ability to show the rendered 3D image to clients who often can't visualize the 3D picture from 2D views. Having a 3D image on shop drawings has also been very worthwhile, especially with inexperienced framers.


    I have been happy with the Dietrich's program and the support has been good and personal. Good luck with your decision.

    Hello,
    I work primarily with owner-builders and beginning timber framers and thus make full use of single beam shop drawings. Unfortunately, the greatest number of views generated is three (two sides views and an end view). For any but the simplest timbers, I end up bringing in the other side views individually from D-CAM.


    So, my WISH LIST addition is:
    Have six views of a timber generated with the Single Beam drawing function.


    Wil mentioned this was being worked on last winter. Any hope of having it in the next update?


    Also, the views currently generated are arranged as though the timber is "rolled" from one view to the next. This also occurs with end views where, for example, the end view of a post (shown at the top of the post) is the view from the bottom. This is the counter-intuitive to me. I am used to the right side of one view becoming the next view to the right. I would hope this could be changed, or at least have the option to choose how the views are arranged.
