 Features  for Revit Architecture and Revit Structure

Autodesk Revit extension Rafter+ provides a powerful set of tools for wooden roof framing & scheduling process. 

  • Revit app Rafter+ automatically generates common rafter systems | tools4revit

    Revit app Rafter+ creates hip/valley rafter | tools4revit

    Revit app Rafter+ creates ridge and girder beams | tools4revit

    Revit app Rafter+ automatically detects and frames openings in roof rafter systems | tools4revit

    Revit app Rafter+ creates additional sloped or horizontal framing | tools4revit

    Revit app Rafter+ has scheduling technology that allows quickly to sort&mark different roof framing elements | tools4revit

    Automatically generates common rafter systems
    (incl. jack rafters) on all slopes for the selected roof. Roof framing is based on the final 3D roof model.
  • Creates hip/valley rafter after selection of two beam systems from the neighbour slopes (or select all). Rafter+ detects whether the element is a hip or a valley rafter. 
  • Automatically generates a collar beam system between two selected rafters in opposite roof slopes. Vertical distance from a ridge or a level to the collar beam system can be predefined and edited later. Collar beams can be created on each side of a rafter pair.
  • Easily models ridge and girder beams with control of notch in (BIRD’S-MOUTH) parameters of common, jack, hip and valley rafters. Vertical or horizontal distance to the girder beam can be redefined. Existing rafters can be cut either immediately or later with a special update function.
  • Updates parameters of modeled rafter or beam systems.
  • Automatically detects and frames openings in roof rafter systems.
  • Includes several functions to insert sleepers and trimmers, create horizontal beam systems, generate floor beam systems automatically, detect and frame openings in floor slabs, cut wood beams in consideration with opening geometry.
  • Creates additional sloped or horizontal framing on a top of rafters or floor beam systems using the very useful function „Create Batten Systems“.
  • Creates horizontal beam systems.
  • Places dormers with ease: just choose the frame position on your roof, select configuration and click to place. The program will create all structural elements so the framing cutout will be accurate.
  • Extends or trims beams, splits or recreates beam systems– powerful functions for custom framing needs.
  • Flexible scheduling technology allows you to quickly define how to mark and sort different roof framing elements. The Sort function groups, sorts and numbers framing elements according to predefined solutions. Popular types of schedules examples are included with software installation.

Published versions: Rafter+ v2013.1, v2012.1, 2011.2, v2010.3.

 Headaches  Working with Revit

1. How can I create rafters for my entire roof?

2. Do I need to make a beam system for every roof slope manually? It is real time consuming!

3. How can I make complete wood framing for my roof a lot faster?

4. How can I easily create hip/valley rafters?

5. Do I need to create collar beams manually for my roof?

6. The ends of existing beams look terrible. How can I cope it automatically?

7. Do I need to frame a roof opening manually?

Revit app Rafter+ automatically inserts sleepers and trimmers | tools4revit8. How can I insert sleepers and trimmers automatically?
