Which term describes a plan view showing the size and spacing of the roof members including plate, ridge, rafter, post, and purlin?

• A. Roof framing plan
• B. Roof plan
• C. Column
• D. Beam

Answer: (A)

The plan view that shows the size and spacing of roof members is the roof framing plan. This drawing focuses on the actual roof structure—plates at the top of walls, the ridge at the peak, rafters spanning from the plates to the ridge, posts for support, and purlins that sit between rafters—and gives the specific sizes and spacing needed to assemble the roof. A roof plan, in contrast, shows the roof’s shape, slope, and drainage features, not the detailed dimensions of the roof members. Columns and beams are general structural elements, not the specialized roof framing layout this item is asking for.
