Beam Parameters
Framer, Floor Framing & Rafters
This function opens a dialog box, where you can select the parameters of a primary beam under floor framing.
- Piece type
- You can select the joist type from the list
- Joint name
- Type the joint name in the text field. If you leave the field empty, the joint will be trimmed to the enveloping line of the profile.
- Location
- You can choose to position the reference point on either the top or bottom surface of the framing. The example below shows the position of a beam perpendicular to the framing, when
- Connect
- When you select the Connect check box, the joist is added so that it forms a joint with the framing pieces connected to it. In this case, if you move a side piece connected to the joist, for example, the joist is stretched to cover the offset. Note! The Joint name field needs to contain the label of the joint to be formed.
