Another picture.This is a drawing where I have taken the lines from the diagram and used them to create a drawing of the finished building.



Braces and other secondary timbers use the layout lines as their centers in order to keep them properly centered between the primary members. Joists, posts, and rafters use layout lines to mark edges. All other timbers such as top plates and upper sills (something that is used in this style, but isn't used in American or English style framing) are matched up to the posts and joists. This building has characteristic features of Bernese Swiss architecture, such as very wide overhangs (the roof is double pitched so that the overhangs do not reach too far down) and a half-hipped roof (hence the triangular section at the top of the roof drawing)

Every single timber in this building is where it is as a result of the daisy wheel, including the slanting braces. The center lines of the braces are marked by lines that extend to connect points on the daisy wheel somewhere off in the distance. The main reason for this is so that the only tools I need to lay out an entire structure are Dividers and a straightedge, no ruled measurements involved whatsoever!
