Thanks for the tips, I think setting this in the defaults will work out. For the joist size, the 40 series I-joists at Menards are 2-1/2 x 11-7/8" where as the 65 series I-joists can be 3-1/2 x 14". Both of these I-joists appear to be cheaper than a regular 2x12 at least when I compare at 24'.

Hi all, I have a complete and framed floor plan for a 3BD ranch with a finished basement. I would like to change the floor joists in the basement from 2-1/2x11-7/8 to 3-1/2x14. To accommodate the reduced height in the basement, I would like for the basement to get a little deeper. I would prefer not to have to redo the already completed floor plans and walls if possible. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
