Custom Frame Element Sizes

The size of the framing elements can be selected from a pre-set list, or the list can be edited to contain desired or custom sizes.

To edit the size list of the frame elements:

1. From the Size field in one of the framing element tabs of the Roof Framer dialog box, select Edit List.

The Edit Size List dialog box opens, listing the currently available sizes of the roof element.

Click to show/hide the parameters.

Parameter	Description
Add	Adds a size to the list; specify the width and height of the new size
Remove	Deletes the currently selected size
Edit	Edits the currently selected size; enter the new width and height parameters
Move Up/Move Down	Changes the order of the sizes by moving the selected size up or down in the list

2. Click OK to edit the size list.

The text files that populate the size lists in the framing element dialog boxes can also be edited. The text files are located in the Vectorworks application folder [Vectorworks]\Plug-Ins\VW_Arch\Data.
