Add a Support Line to a Framing

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:

1. 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 a Structure and a Layer

2. Do either of the following:
   • Select Panel | Framing | Framing Gallery Lines.
   • Select Plane Structure | Framing | Framing Gallery Lines.
3. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
4. Select Add Support Line.
5. Click the start point of the line.

   

6. Click the end point of the line.

   

7. Select the framing detail.
