Model Size Components

Shed Configuration

The Model size is made of a list comprised of several components. These lists are how each Model Size recieves the assets that make up the entry, details that control placement, option logic and more. Some fields only apply to specifc models, and are marked 'Shed Dependent'. These fields are only required for the model that calls for this specific field. For example, a porch post is required on Lexingtons, but since there is no Porch Post on a Skyline, this field can be left blank on any Skyline Model Size.

Size Information

Each page in the ‘Model Size’ list contains position fields:

  • Width: Width of the shed.

  • Length: Length of the shed.

  • Height: The wall height of the shed. (Not the overall height of the shed)

  • Runner Positions: This is a list of posititions. For every value, a runner is placed. This field should contain a range from negative to positive values, in order to encompass the entire shed.

  • Roof Pitch: The roof pitch of the shed.

'Archived' is a checkbox that allows the shed to be hidden from the builder, but the size remains in the system. This allows any past shed to be properly referenced.

Meshes

Any mesh that is not associated with a Wall is assigned here. Some fields are optional, as not every shed uses every field. These are marked as 'Shed Dependent' on this list.

  • Roof Mesh: Mesh used for the roof.

  • Soffit Mesh: Mesh used for Smartside and Smartlap soffits.

  • Vinyl Soffit Mesh: Mesh used for Vinyl Soffits.

  • Ridge Vent Mesh: Mesh used for Ridge Vents.

  • Post Mesh (Shed Dependent): Mesh used for Models with a porch post.

  • Runner Mesh: Mesh used for Runners in the foundation.

  • L-joist Mesh: Mesh used for the L-Joist in the foundation.

  • Rim Joist Mesh: Mesh used for the Rim Joist in the foundation.

  • Joist Mesh: Mesh used for the Joist in the foundation.

  • Truss Mesh: The basic truss mesh. Placed every 2 feet.

  • End 1 Truss Mesh: The end truss of a shed.

  • End 2 Truss Mesh (Shed Dependent): A secondary end truss. If this field is left blank, End 1 Truss Mesh is used on both ends.

  • Loft Truss Mesh (Shed Dependent): Mesh used when lofts are placed. Is not a required asset, as not all sheds have lofts.

  • Drop Loft Truss Mesh (Shed Dependent): Mesh used when stairs require a drop loft. As not all sheds have stairs, this field is optional.

  • Open Truss Mesh (Shed Dependent): This is the truss that leads the lofts. Optional for the same reason Loft Truss Mesh is optional.

  • Porch Truss Mesh (Shed Dependent): This mesh is placed above porches. Optional as not all models contain a porch.

  • Braced Truss Mesh (Shed Dependent): The Brace Truss Mesh is a brace that is placed depending on spacing criteria including length, width and amount of loft a shed has. Not every shed gets braces, thus it is optional.

  • Floor Mesh: Mesh used for the floor.

Textures and SVGs

SVG fields are used to assign images for the ‘Drawings’ of a shed. Each field on this list correlates to an similarly named Mesh field. If a field is listed as 'Shed Dependent' it is optional for the same reason.

  • Truss SVG: SVG used to draw the shape of the Standard Truss.

  • End 1 Truss SVG: SVG used to represent the End 1 Truss.

  • End 2 Truss SVG (Shed Dependent): SVG used to represent the End 2 Truss.

  • Loft Truss SVG: SVG used to represent the Loft Truss Truss.

  • Drop Loft Truss SVG (Shed Dependent): SVG used to represent the Drop Loft Truss.

  • Open Truss SVG: SVG used to represent the Open Truss.

  • Porch Truss SVG (Shed Dependent): SVG used to represent the Porch Truss.

  • Braced Truss SVG (Shed Dependent): SVG used to represent the Braced Truss.

Drawing Measurement Data

When generating a Drawing set on Shedbuilder or Garagebuilder, these fields need to be entered in order to receive accurate measurements for the trusses:

  • Truss Height: The height of the truss.

  • Truss Width: The width of the truss.

  • Loft Truss Height: The height of the loft truss specifically. This is due to some shed configurations having the bottom chord of the truss even with the top plate of the shed. As a result, Loft Trusses do not always have the same height as other trusses.

  • Drop Loft Truss Height: The Bottom Chord of the Drop Loft Truss is always below the top plate. As a result, Drop Loft Trusses will not have the same height as other trusses.

  • Headroom Offset: The Headroom Offset is the vertical measurement of the board of the top plate. This measurement is how the Builder calculates when a Garage Door requires a Low Clearance Track.
