Hey guys.
Pretty decent. Is there a section to add ridge thickness? What size are you currently assuming.

Also coukd add Perling angles ?

Thanks

Brilliant app for roof framing

Quality app never had any problems using it. I’m sure people giving negative reviews just don’t have much knowledge on roofs and are imputing wrong data. Would definitely recommend this app for roofs

Seat cut and plumb cut still the wrong way!!! Wouldn’t trust the other measurements

Great Apps

Works great for me

Zero star, does not calculate accurate common rafter length

Ex. A 24’x40’ home entered with a 16” overhang gives you a 12’+16” line length. Therefore 13’-4” or 160” (13.3333 (1.111083 unit run) on a 6” pitch or 26.57 deg. Or (13.41 unit rise).

(1.111083*13.41) = 14.8’. Or 14’-10 13/16” the correct overall common rafter length.

The app, after carefully checking all settings spits out a 15’-3” common lengths for not apparent reason after being fed all the same dimensions as well as a 26.57 degree angle for the 6/12 roof that I calculated above.

Great app this saves hours of time πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ

Hats off to this App πŸ€™

Not bad

Seat cut and plumb cut are round the wrong way. Needs updating

Response from developer

Check out our latest update the problem you are experiencing is fully addressed in the help file because of the way the power mitre saws are marked out, when making a square cut which is 90 deg the saw will be marked 0 deg totally confusing???? resulting in some users thinking the app is at fault when it’s all down to the saw markings.

Utterly useless
