Add a Support Line to a Framing
Framer, Floor Framing & Rafters
This function can be used to add a support line to the framing over which the joists will continue unbroken. For example, you can add a line depicting a load-bearing structure in an architectural drawing. You can also add a framing piece on the cut line as the load-bearing beam under framing in the figure below.
Add a support line in as follows:
- Select the structure. The structure’s basic layer whose type is FRAMING becomes automatically selected. If necessary, you can select another FRAMING type layer.
- Select Plane Structure | Framing | Framing Gallery Lines.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
- Select Add Support Line.
- Click the start point of the line.
- Click the end point of the line.
- Select the framing detail.
Note
- As a default, all framing line symbols are visible in the floor plan drawing. If necessary, you can hide the support line symbols by clicking the button Support lines in the auxiliary menu.
