Cricket Adaptive Family for a Chimney and Roof - Part 1

By Veredith Keller, IMAGINiT Building Solutions

In this Adaptive Family, the adaptive points’ orientation will be changed and parameters will be added to change the offset distance.

Orientation affects the adaptive component family when placed on another component or in a project environment. With the adaptive points selected, go to the Properties Palette and under the Adaptive Component section, specify the Orientation. For this family, the adaptive point Orientation will be changed to “Vertical on Placement”.

This example contains a roof and a chimney. A cricket or saddle is needed to divert water on the roof around the high side of the chimney.
