Section 1
Use the deck as the assembly anchor
Covered deck planning works best when the deck footprint drives the attached systems.
- - Anchor the project on the deck perimeter, levels, and house attachment conditions.
- - Connect roof and stair modules to the same geometry and dependency graph.
- - Keep related outputs coordinated through one project workflow.
Section 2
Coordinate design changes across modules
When the deck changes, the cover and stair plan should not silently drift out of date.
- - Update linked child assemblies when edge, landing, or support conditions shift.
- - Mark downstream outputs stale until regeneration is complete.
- - Use revision checkpoints to review why the covered deck package changed.
Section 3
Generate a more complete exterior project packet
Covered deck work usually needs more than a single layout view.
- - Pair deck framing, roof planning, and stair outputs in a shared workflow.
- - Support review snapshots for clients and stakeholders before field work starts.
- - Move toward one connected exterior build package rather than isolated module outputs.
