Core Tools & Framing

Build Generator

Generate walls, rafters, siding, and roof structures for sheds, garages, and cabins in seconds.

The Build Generator builds every stud, rafter, siding panel, and roof plane automatically. Treat it as the fastest way to go from client constraints to a production-ready model.

Typical use cases

Use the generator whenever you need a starting point for:

  • Standard sheds (gabled or mono-slope).
  • Detached garages or workshops up to two bays.
  • Backyard cabins, studios, guest suites, and saunas.
  • Tiny houses, bunkies, and garden rooms.

How to use it

  1. Open the Build Generator from the top toolbar.
  2. Select settings that match your desired structure.
  3. Enter exact width, depth, wall height, roof pitch, and overhangs.
  4. Define stud spacing, sheathing, siding, roofing, and floor system details.
  5. Click Generate—the build writes to the model instantly, so scrap and rerun it whenever you want a different outcome.

Key options

  • Wall presets: light framing, insulated, or heavy-duty (more studs, blocking).
  • Roof packages: choose rafter spacing, sheathing thickness, and structural type (truss, beam, or shed with collar ties).
  • Foundation choices (coming soon): slab, skids, pier blocks, or none.

Current limitations

  • One-story rectangular footprints only—use manual editing for L-shapes.
  • Roof presets cover gable, mono, and gambrel; hips and complex dormers are manual.
  • Maximum tested footprint is 12 m × 18 m (roughly 40 ft × 59 ft); larger models may exceed cut-list limits.
