MVitucci Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 When i create my roof, or even other large framed units, the material list generates dimensional lumber sizes that are not available to purchase. With the materials list set to "Buy List" style I am getting 2x6's that are over 32 feet in length. Is there any way to set defaults so that the designs will use multiple shorter lengths of lumber that are available to purchase off the shelf?

Rookie65 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 We can help you better if we know which program and year you have. Yet my 1st thought is if you look at the walls that the framing goes over, make them "bearing" walls where they would logically be and the framing will split on those walls and break them from going the full span of the building, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
