Rafters with Rafter Tails For pavillion
I have searched all over the content for rafters that have rafter tails like you would use for an outdoor pavaillion. I remember seeing them somewhere in the past, but now when I need them, I can not find them. Does anyone know where they are in the library.
I have seen the tails by them selves but I was hoping to find rafters that already have tails.
Thanks for all of your help in the past, you guys have really helped me with Chief
Thanks

Rafters with Rafter Tails
Interesting Comments. And yes you can email me (fvbs2010@live.com) the Rafters you have in your library. I am always looking for options and second opinions.
When I was creating the pergolla I wanted to use the framing tools within Chief as much as possible so if I wanted to I could get a list of materials used in the plan. So you first suggestion was exactly what I was looking for. Once I created one rafter the hard work is done, I copied it like you said.
If I use polylines instead of rafters will Chief know to add these to the material list. I am assuming Chief won't know what materials they really are if I just use a polyline and I don't define the material as framing members. Am I wrong about this?
See my attached file to see how it came out. The only problem I have with the attached file is there is too much blue in the Raytrace. I am going to post a string to see if I can get some help with the color scheme Raytrace is using.
Comments are much appreciated
Thanks

Creating custom rafter tails
I created these custom rafter tails and they look great in 3D and in the elevations, BUT, for some reason they do not appear correctly when you look at them in a plan view (top down). They appear to be lying on their side. I tried playing with the display axis and could not figure out how to get them to appear correctly. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong.
