Traditionally we have been a precast and steel operation. With a very strong and talented team, familiar with AutoCad (and many similarly related CAD systems), Tekla and also Catia and SolidWorks.
Given Toyota’s Design facility is now defunct in Melbourne, we now have Tony on board, capable of handling anything pertaining to SolidWorks and Catia. We original met Tony in Toyota, and we know what he’s capable of. He brings to us a wealth of knowledge and expertise – one of the best in the world – and are absolutely delighted to have him on board.
If it’s got to do with SolidWorks, he’s one of the best out there. Pick up the phone and we’ll give you a quote. And you can judge for yourself the quality of his work.
When you model the roof, pay attention to how the flashing will work. In this video I am explaining, the roof flashing explaining the error in modelling.
Few things to remember when modeling roof
Roof need support everywhere.
Take care of roof slope and gutter requirements
Gutter will require 65 mm gap clear if the gutter support is to run under the gutter.
It is not necessary for the gutter support to run right through. Gutter support can stop at certain members and continue from the other side of members.
It should be possible to flash the roof to the design requirement. Do not model the roof in such a way that flashing is not possible
