Rotate Joists

[abovethewave]

Another newbie question here.  I am working on the framing for a project.  Using Auto Framing, Chief put the floor joists on my main floor in the wrong direction. Is there a way to auto rotate the joist set?

 

Thanks!

Go to BUILD>FRAMING>JOIST DIRECTION and place a direction indicator in the plan.

BTW...placing a bearing beam or wall will also trigger the joists to change direction to bear on that beam/wall.

Thank you.  Hmmm, I see how the joist direction indicator works - but it's not updating the direction of the actual 3D framing...

Did you turn off AUTO JOISTS?

[abovethewave]

Not sure.  I just manually placed them, which is fine as well.

You will need to delete the joists you have already drawn.

Then place the direction line and auto build.

This is a method I use often and then edit manually to dial it in.

Once you have it as you want, lock the layer and you are set.

I never turn off auto floor and ceiling framing unless I have to make any manual framing changes, then I will turn it off, but hate doing it. I try to keep all framing live if possible.
