One per layer is needed for accurate load tracking and ghosting. | | | **Set Plan Layer** (`CC:SETLAYER`) | Assigns the selected object to the current active plan layer. Useful if beams were placed on the wrong layer. | | | **Roof** (`CC:ROOF`) | Converts or draws a closed POLYLINE into a Roof Perimeter object. | | | **Hip Truss** (`CC:HIP`) | Converts or draws a LINE into a Hip Truss object. Needs 2 supports and must touch a Roof Perimeter and Girder Truss. | | | **Valley** (`CC:VALLEY`) | Converts or draws a LINE into a Valley object. | | | **Girder Truss** (`CC:GT`) | Converts or draws a LINE into a Girder Truss object. Must have at least two supports. | | | **Show Rafter Directions** (`CC:SHOWRAFTERS`) | Displays predicted rafter/truss directions. Red hatches show unresolved areas needing manual X/Y direction. | | | **Show Tributary Areas** (`CC:VALIDATEROOF`) | Color codes load tributary areas by direction. Helps verify truss logic and detect connection issues. | | | **Joist** (`CC:JOIST`) | Converts or draws a LINE into a Joist object. | | | **Generate Joists** (`CC:`) | Draws a closed POLYLINE to create a joist area. Direction and spacing set via Properties panel. | | | **Validate** (`CC:VALIDATEFLOOR`) | Checks all joist areas and flags missing joists or unresolved directions (in red hatch). | | | **Bearer** (`CC:BEARER`) | Converts or draws a LINE into a Bearer. Properties include label, comments, disconnect flag, and roof load toggle. | | | **Lintel** (`CC:LINTEL`) | Converts or draws a LINE into a Lintel. Can be customized with labels, comments, and load toggles. | | | **Wall** (`CC:WALL`) | Converts or draws a LINE into a load bearing Wall object. Use "Allow Disconnect" for non-contiguous walls. | | | **Railing** (`CC:RAILING`) | Converts or draws a LINE into a Railing object. Used for balcony rails or non-load bearing walls. | | | **Column** (`CC:COLUMN`) | Creates a POINT Column. Can place in center of selected objects for batch creation. | | | **Area Override** (`CC:LOADAREA`) | Converts or draws a closed POLYLINE into a custom load area (e.g. bathroom, solar). | | | **Properties** (`CC:PROPS`) | Opens Properties panel for selected object. Blank if no Calcs.com properties are found. | | | **Highlight Tagged** (`CC:HIGHLIGHT`) | Highlights in purple all objects with Calcs.com tags—useful for coverage checks. | | | **Hide Output** (`CC:HIDE`) | Hides currently active visual commands (e.g. tagged highlights, rafter lines). | | | **Validate All** (`CC:VALIDATE`) | Checks full drawing for errors and zooms to problem areas in order. | | | **Clear Properties** (`CC:CLEAR`) | Clears all Calcs.com tags from selected objects—useful to undo incorrect tagging. | | | **Export** (`CC:EXPORT`) | Exports drawing as a CCFRAME file. Flags errors before export is allowed. |
