revit Lt and wood framing plans

[sam.robinson99]

I am trying to draw framing plans (floor, wall, roof) for a house using Revit LT 2015.  Can't figure out how to show the framing.  Is this possible?

Please respond.

Thank you.

Thank you for your post.  In this case you can modify the views to see the framing members but there is also an extension for the timber framing software.  I have included a few links below, one for this extension to add in to your software, as well as the knowledge document on creating a framing elevation (among others).  Please let us know in the community if this was helpful.  Thank you.

Is this the correct answer?  Although the comparison between LT and Full Revit shows there is no support for third party apps, the Timber Framing app is an autodesk app.   When I downloaded the Timber Framing app on a Revit 2015 LT machine, the extensions tab does not show?  Most of the other replies on the forum say to create the members individually.

I thought I would close this topic since the was no answer since January. I just coped with a similar issue. The are some replies on the internet suggesting that extensions and add-ins are supported in Revit LT. Well, they aren't. There is some official statement somewhere in the forums.

An add in from Autodesk CAN run on Revit LT but it must be developed specifically for it and timber framing even though it is an Autodesk add in it was not developed for Revit LT so it can't be used. If add in support is important then Revit LT is not the best choice for your needs. Revit will support add in from Autodesk and 3rd parties, where there is a much wider variety of add in available.
