Task 1: Roof Frame
Allplan 2005
Exercise 2: Roof
Task 1: Roof Frame
Introduction
Default reference planes do not afford the possibility of accounting
for height differences within a component - sloping walls, for
example. In this case, custom reference planes are used.
Custom upper reference plane

Top of element,
attached to upper
reference plane
Bottom of element,
attached to lower
reference plane
Default upper reference plane
Default lower reference plane

Custom lower reference plane
These reference planes come in pairs, too. However, they do not

stretch to infinity. They have a boundary. You can define the outline
of the planes in plan - any shape you wish. These planes (there are
always two) can be inclined at any angle and any height that you
assign to them.
When a custom pair of reference planes is placed over a part of a
wall, this wall section adopts the height of the custom pair. If no
custom reference plane has been defined, then the elements default
to the default reference planes.

Custom planes
Please note:
Pairs of reference planes only affect the architectural elements
that are located in the same drawing file as the reference planes
themselves.
Custom reference plane pairs have priority over both default
reference planes.
When two custom reference plane pairs overlap, the pair entered
last is always valid.
When you design a roof frame, you are in effect creating a whole
series of custom pairs of reference planes in a simple and elegant
manner - we will see how this is done in the next exercise. These
roof planes like custom planes - have priority over the default
reference planes.

Tip: When you have finished

applying the roof covering,
you can design the entire roof
structure using the tools in
the Rafter Design module.
The bottom level of the roof covering will rest directly on the rafters.
We will define the setup of the roof covering so that its bottom layer
consists of the rafters, and by associating them correctly with the
roof covering, we will ensure that they will also rest directly on the
roof frame, and consequently on the walls.
The dormer roof will be created with an overhang. Therefore, we will
start by creating the dormer with a recess and apply the roof
covering to the main roof. In the next step, we will create the roof
covering for the dormer.
Detailed information is
provided in the appendix.

The stair outline you enter depends on the stair type you select. For
example, if you select the straight-flight stair type, the system will
close the outline after you have placed four points. The outline of a
U-type stair is defined by eight points. A spiral stair is defined by
two arc radii and a free-form stair can be based on as many points
and shapes as you want - even splines.
First, the stair is represented by treads only. You can add stair
components if you want. The program presents these components
and offers options for displaying them in a single, easy-to-use dialog
box.
Stair symbols:
Large arrows on the steps indicate that the components are

at different heights.
Small arrows on a short line indicate that two components

(steps or landings) are at the same height.
