Draw a floor plan with walls, doors and windows. CAD Forge builds the 3D house, roof and timber frame from it, then makes plan and elevation drawings and a material list.
All sizes are in millimetres. Changing a thickness here updates every wall of that type.
Roof
The roof covers the outer rectangle of the building. Hip roofs always run their ridge along the longer side.
