Soffit
Soffits are located below canopies, rake extensions,
facades, overhangs, and in building wall offset
conditions.
Additional framing is required for the support of the
soffit panels unless the soffit can be attached
directly to the bottom of the purlins.
Many panels are available for use as soffits.
o Panel Rib and Vee Rib are the most
economical panels.
Soffit in VPCommand is input within the Liner folder.
VPCommand considers the panel on the back side of
the main wall or roof as Liner.
If the majority of your canopies / rake extensions
require soffit panel you should add these items to
your VP Command “Default” files so that soffit will
automatically be provided.
