All language subtitles for Film 28 Working with rafter holders

In this tutorial, I will demonstrate how to work with rafter holders.

In order to mount a rafter holder on the saddle roof, we first need to select it from the

DIN library.

To speed things up, we can simply enter the term rafter into the search mask, expand the

selection, and choose the desired article.

We now have two options to place the rafter holder on the roof, either by positioning

the holder with our mouse cursor, or we enter the desired distance to the ridge line on

our keyboard.

Then we align our holder and turn it into the roof.

With a second click, we confirm the position and place the rafter holder.

If the numbers in the blue box or the dimensioning lines are not displayed, we can activate them

by opening the CAD options, moving to the snap tab, and ticking the box for surfaces

under dimensioning.

To place the additional equipment, the roof bushing sets that should always be added,

we click right and switch to realistic view for a more detailed picture.

Then we choose our article and place it on the rafter holder.

It is currently a little tricky to place the roof bushing sets, but no problem with a little

bit of practice and the right angle.

It helps to align the article on a flat surface, then select the article, click right, choose

move and click again to position the article correctly.

And lastly, we can adapt the height.

Now we can add a support tube that fits into the rafter holder by entering the article

number.

And then we choose the DINCON HA support pipe for the HVI light conductor.

And it automatically connects to our rafter holder.

Alternatively, we can also select a different article for the HVI air termination rod.

Both support tubes connect automatically to the rafter holder.

If we want to install a different air termination rod, we can do that by mounting a fixing clamp

for railings to the rafter holder and connect the air termination rod to the fixing clamps.

For adding the down conductor, we need to use the manual function since the semi-automatic

is not working for this scenario.

We can also mount the conductor below the roof surface.

To do that, we need to adapt the holder in the bill of materials.

However, the conductor will graphically be shown on top of the roof in order to still

be able to comprehend the conductor routing.

That's it for this tutorial.

Thanks for watching.
