WhistlerBuilder Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hi Chiefers, I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips about why Chief might be ignoring joist directions for floor joists and bearing lines. My software is changing the direction some times and not others, and is changing it on one floor, then ignoring all joist direction specifications on all the other floors. The project file is massive, (2 tower lowrise project) and not suitable to upload. Any tips welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Try drawing a completely enclosed bearing line area, then draw some more and hope for the best.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistlerBuilder Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Still not working, no rhyme or reason as to why some sections change direction and some do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Are you drawing your joist direction and bearing lines on the floor below the platform you are framing? Do you have a framing layer in your floor structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen maybe right , this catches people all the time , anything below the Subfloor and any floor in CA is depicted on the Floor below you may actually be looking at the Ceiling Joists? ( turning Ceiling Joists off in the ALDO will soon tell you ) M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
