ncochran Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I'm sure this has been discussed before but I didn't find anything helpful. I would like to change joist directions in several locations. I have tried using the bearing line and joist direction but I can't get them to do what I want. I assume I'm not using the bearing lines properly. For example, on a wrap around porch I want the ceiling joists to change direction at the corner. Can anyone give me some tips?

ncochran Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 I had one there. I tried all sorts of bearing line arrangements. Does each area need to be enclosed in bearing lines? Say you had 3 or more joist direction changes within the structure. I don't understand how program uses the bearing lines to break up the structure as far as the joist directions are concerned.

ncochran Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 I am able to get the porch joist direction as you did. This section over the garage is giving me problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncochran Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 As I try to figure out how to set up the bearing lines to fix this it messes with the porch joists too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
