No, that is not possible.
Perhaps you can use a little trick:
In roof design put in some purlins, they will make the birds mouths automatically. Be sure to have the line markings on the purlins. Then in Dicam you take each single purlin, and explode the line markings. At the same time, the birds mouths will be exploded, too (without manual treating every single rafter). Delete the purlins, and the birds mouths will stay!
What is the correct word for the horizontal beams, where the rafters are nailed upon?
I thought it was "purlin"? :oops:
Next update installation I should install more language files...
Hi Planer,
it´s OK: "purlin" is the correct expression for "Pfette"!

Hello Planer,
we should install an english version, so its better to translate the correct words :wink: :lol:
It´s in roof- design 5-3 :wink:
Normally it should work with the solution, make a screen- print or send the project to the forum, somebody will look at it :wink:
....mmmh, ok, the translation says this :wink:
Yes, it is the bottom-plate. You can also call it purlin.
A purlin is a horizontal member whos top face is in the plane of the roof. (5-3-4 in roof design.) A plate is a roof member whos sides are plumb and level.
If you have a midspan member (not rotated in the plane of the roof) with rafters framed over it, this is commonly called a purlin plate (5-3-2 in roof design). If you have a midspan member in the plane of the roof (it is rotated) and rafters frame into it, this is commonly called a principal purlin.
Not to get caught up in terminology, or anything.

Zitat von Thorvald.... delete these plates - but then maybe the birth mouths will not stay??
Please read again the second post of this thread. If you follow it, the birds mouths will stay!
I now tried to do the way I described, but I'm sorry, it doesn't work. :oops:
But I'm sure, I already did it successfully. Maybe the birds mouths and marking lines were not made by roof design, but in Dicam :?
I cannot explode them now 
I used another way to solve the problem: I put in a bottom plate in roof design with automatic birds mouths. Then I put in the wall beams, and changed the MOS from roof to wall. So I have the automatic functions of roof design, but the beam is shown in wall drawings.
