Structural Drawings
TANGOBuilder automatically generates the structural drawing dxf document containing the following types of plan views:
- Level: Containing Stem walls, different types of walls, headers, beams, posts, joists, and sheathing. Note: Also contains underlay walls of the upper level.
- Roof: Contains ridge beams and posts.
Plan views arrangement
All plan views are drafted in the model space following the next arrangement:
Plan views layouts
For each plan view in the modelspace, there is one paperspace that contains the title block and one viewport with the plan view entities. These paperspaces follow the naming convention S1XX.

Details Callouts
Friday will automatically identify the required details based on the presence of structural elements and connections. Then, it will add all the callouts containing the detail id to the model space of the structural drawing file.
Hold-downs
Hold-downs are added to the stem walls. Each end of the walls and wall intersection has one hold-down. For wall intersections, only one hold-down is added to the wall with an angle a closer to 0 degrees from a horizontal reference line.
Friday detail manager integration
Friday automatically adds the callouts with the details IDs to the model space. Then uses an integrated structural-details-manager module to process the details as follows:
-
The details ID texts are parsed and converted to a page and slot numbers in the model space.
-
The details are searched in the
structural-detailsdatabase and imported into a paper space page in the corresponding slot.
