New Features

• Trim overlaps

  • Trim materials can now be set with an ‘Overlap’ in the Setup wizard

  • This will allow trim parts to overlap which effectively decrease the coverage length of a trim part

  • For example, if you use a 10’ long ridge trim part with a 6” overlap, 2 ridge caps will not cover a 20’ ridge (so you will end up with a quantity of 3-10’ ridge caps in this case)

• Interior wall default settings

  • There is a new ‘Interior Walls’ group on the ‘Details’ tab below ‘Wall Liner’ that can be set in the framing rules

  • When inputting DIvider Walls you can pick settings for ‘Side A’ and a ‘Side B’

  • You can select a side to ‘Match Exterior’, ‘Match Liner’ (or ‘None‘)

  • This will match sheathing, wall trims, opening trims, girts and skirtboards accordingly

    • (Liner must be turned on to apply to the interior wall)

  • This is a first step for interior wall framing and liner options that will be expanded as we continue to work on interior wall input

• Option to use jamb post instead of standard post when opening is placed against a standard post

  • A new checkbox called ‘Use Jamb Post instead of Standard Post’ is available for each opening type

  • If checked, when an opening is placed against a standard post then the standard post automatically switches to use the jamb post material

• Option for material Outputs to use ‘Multiply by Qty Per Selling Unit’.

  • If turned on, all materials with a ‘Qty Per Selling Unit’ will multiply the required units by the quantity per selling unit

  • For example,  if a job requires 3 boxes of nails with 100 per box (and if this is checked on for the Output) then the quantity will be reported as 300 (and not 3 boxes)

• Assemblies will now use the Pick Length instead of cut length when calculating materials

  • For example, If you have a calculation to use 1 screw per lineal foot of ridge cap.  If you have a 15 foot ridge and you call out 2-10’ ridge cap trim parts in a job, the calculation will give you 20 screws.  Previously you would get 15 screws.

• Starting Models are now available through the API

• BUG FIX-40′ wide building with full length offset down zero eave porch removes wall sheathing

• BUG FIX-Change which product systems control which trim types in some cases

  • Edge and Flashing trims are now controlled only by Roof Systems, and Fascia are controlled only by Overhang Systems
