This suite adds automatic, intelligent functionality to existing structural elements.
: It generates rafters, purlins, ridge beams, and wall plates based on your existing roof geometry in just a few clicks. It is perfect for timber construction and accurate 3D structural representations. Where to find it : Design > Design Extras > Roof Wizard 3. Mesh to Roof Tool
Yes, a small goodie, but a life-saver. The startup dialog now shows which object is currently loading and an estimated time remaining. No more guessing if Archicad crashed.
