# Custom Clip Framing

alt text

alt text

This node mainly targets custom aluminum components with specialized clip framing. More will be added in the future.

The ceiling components themselves need to be created using glass sloped glazing logic.

alt text

When creating glass sloped glazing, if it's flat, make sure to cancel the slope definition. A 0-degree slope will affect framing generation.
