Constantin 0 Posted May 14, 2018 Hello, I was wandering if any of you may have the Shear Wall CAD details (shown on some of the Chief sample layouts - see attached) to share with me. The Hold-Down and the Shear Wall schedules and the Portal Frame Elevation detail will give me a good place to start my shear wall design.

solver 1415 Posted May 14, 2018 Is the plan available to download? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge_Runner 111 Posted May 14, 2018 Those details appear to be using Simpson's products. They should be available from Simpson's site. I have used their CAD details before but they will need to be modified for your line weights, font, text size, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constantin 0 Posted May 14, 2018 No, the plans are not available for download. I was actually browsing the net (including strongtie.com) for quite a bit, but I couldn't find anything. I was hopping someone may have a copy that would save me time building from scratch. Best regards, Constantin A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rlackore 384 Posted May 14, 2018 Simpson has a plethora of details available for their lateral and uplift system components. Download this application guide, find the connection detail you need (eg D/21, etc.) then go here to download a dwg or dxf file. APA has details as well. Go here to search and download. Personally I'd run the numbers first to determine what the loads are, then design the system and find applicable products, and then lastly draw the details.
