Sorry for the delayed response. I have not used Estimator. Laying out the framing for this shed was something I did sort of on a whim for my brother-in-law who was planning to order a pre-made shed, not knowing if my layout would ever get used. Now that he has found out the shed he was ordering won’t be approved for a permit due to hurricane requirements (he lives in Florida), who knows, it may get used in some form after all.

To further address your question, though, I don’t do framing layouts with any regularity, so I haven’t been in need of something like Estimator. But I do recognized the value of such a tool and wish you the best of luck with it.

Hi John,

Thanks for the response and a great plugin. Could you clarify what you mean by “There is also a known limitation for gable walls with openings, in that the header cannot be below the shortest segment of the wall.”? I think I’m reading it too literally because I’m looking at the gable wall with the window as framed by Framer in the picture above and the header of the window is below the shortest segment of the wall, assuming I’m correctly understand what you are referring to by “the shortest segment of the wall”.

Thanks,
Tim

Figured out the images/URL. Also, hopefully it’s clear in my initial post that the center stud(s) would go from sill plate to the peak if the wall had no window. With a window, the desired framing is reflected in the image.

Is there a way to include images in a post here? I used the “img” tags and provided URLs.

Thanks,
Tim
