Why wood framing & lumber businesses switch
Framers often rely on the lumber yard's takeoff or a spreadsheet. Doing your own in TrueScope means your numbers, your labour rates and a lumber list you can send to more than one yard.
Setup tip
Set 1 LF of 2x6 wall at 16 in centres = 0.75 studs + 3 LF of plate, and 1 SF of roof sheathing = 0.031 sheets.
Common questions
Yes. Give the roof group a slope angle and the sheathing area is the true sloped area.
Yes. Purchases lets you send a request for quote to several vendors and compare their bids.
