Improved roofing and dormer tool (and more)

Another big update in just a few days.

We have simplified the roofing system, and it is now even better than before. You can live adjust patterns, lightness, and thickness for faster and more flexible design work.

The dormer tool is also improving day by day. You can now place two dormers at the same time, adjust the size, roof angle, and other settings to match your design, and place them exactly where you want. You can choose between shed dormers and gable dormers, and the Opening Framer works with both, so adding custom windows is quick and easy.

As always, Autostrek does the heavy lifting for you. Geometry, studs, rafters, battens, flashing, and the required roof framing for the dormers are all created automatically.

We have also made many smaller refinements that make it even easier to design your dream garage, cabin, shed, dog house, or tiny house. Bargeboards no longer need manual adjustment in most cases, although you can still fine tune them when needed. Flashing is now placed correctly regardless of roof angle.

We also added a new button in the main menu that lets you quickly hide objects in the model, so you no longer need to open the Groups panel just to turn visibility on or off.

Autostrek keeps getting faster, smarter, and easier to use.
