Troybrooks Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I am having troubles trying to angle a ceiling beam on a pergola style exposed roof beam system over a deck. the customer is wanting this strange designed roof system so that it does not tie into the house. I have got the deck and part of the roof figured out just cant seem to find a way to angle the top beam. There is an attached 2d drawing of what im looking for and there is a 3d drawing of where im at. I have tried to draw a poly line which works up to the point where I need to convert it back to an architectural item. im sure its a simple step im missing but im lost. if you have any help it would be appreciated. Im using home designer pro 2020. thanks Tim Shaffer 2d.pdf Tim Shaffer left side 3d view.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Please post images directly -- no need to make a PDF of an image. This makes it easier for others as an image shows in the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troybrooks Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Well how do you save the image to download directly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Are you asking about rafters and purlins? The software won't do the purlins -- go back to ChiefTalk and search there for some options. Draw a roof, build framing, copy a rafter, delete the roof, paste/hold position the rafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Just create a jpg instead of a PDF. What are you using to do the screen capture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troybrooks Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Normally when I submit items to clients I print to a PDF that way they can open it without needing a specific software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
