This article illustrates the various roofing solutions which can be accommodated with a Westok rafter. Rafters can be pinned, continuously spanning or detailed to resist end moments. Where Lateral Torsional Buckling is the critical design check, for example for a spine beam, an asymmetric Westok can be designed with a heavier top tee and lighter bottom tee, to produce a very economic structurally efficient member.

Where there is a visual preference to avoid bolted splices, long-span rafters can be manufactured and delivered to site in one piece. Straightforward splice details such as back-to-back end plates can result in medium to long spans being produced in two or three components, facilitating easy transport to site and speedy erection. Typically spans range from 10m to 50m+, offering a superior solution to trusses, which are frequently timely and costly to manufacture, fabricate and paint. Many roof systems can be supported: flat, cambered, curved, pitched, tapered, cantilevered, box etc. Westok rafters are pre-cambered at no cost to reduce or eliminate dead load deflection issues, and larger 100mm+ drainage cambers can be installed if required to suit the roof falls.

This would give a more realistic representation of the actual construction for most stud conditions, where the slope point would be in-line with the stud face and not a finish face.Kloeckner Westok rafters are the ideal lightweight, clear span roof beam, providing an economic and aesthetic structural solution with service integration opportunities along the full span. If you check the box in the options bar to Extend to Wall Core, the slope point will be from the core face. The above images used the face of the wall for the overhang, not the face of the core. So the sketch line doesn't change location to change where the slope starts, the Rafter or Truss option moves the roof up or down to change where the slope starts.ĮDIT: Forgot to mention one little ing Extend to Wall Core also works the same way. Notice how the dimension from the level to the top of the fascia line.the roof is moving vertically to adjust where the slope point starts. As you can see in the images, the overhang doesn't change but the "base point" of the wall does change height. The confusing part for some is that the sketch line doesn't change when changing the Rafter or Truss parameter. If you use the Truss Option, the slope will start at the EXTERIOR face of the wall. When Selecting the Rafter Option, the slope starts at the INTERIOR face of the wall. Ever wonder what the difference was between selecting Rafter or Truss when doing a Roof by Footprint and utilizing Pick Walls? (Notice, I mentioned Roof by Footprint and Pick Walls.you have to use these tools/options to get the selection of Rafter or Truss.) Well, the difference is quite simple but can be confusing to some when laying out the footprint lines.
