Chopsaw Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 So it is all totally automatic as long as you want 16" O.C. spacing ? What am I missing ? -Framing Wall Defaults -Build Framing Wall Settings -Wall Framing Material All set to 24" but I get 16" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenbc Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Why do you want a 24" spacing? Just kidding....I confirm I get the same behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe they would miss that even with in house testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 In metric plan I get the correct spacings. Have you set the spacings in both framing defaults and wall settings dbx?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwideziner Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 I don't use that wall framing material. so it must be related to the material definition I guess. I use a plain material and then at the bottom of the wall framing panel I set the framing spacings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenna is soo smooth I missed that little nugget. I guess that needs to be set to default or all the other settings are useless ? https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/5514/what-s-new-in-x13-design.html?playlist=173 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I gather the material no longer has anything to do with spacing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottharris Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 You might check in the wall definition to use the ‘default’ wall framing. It also looks like your framing material is using "…stud 24 OC”. In X13 we changed the framing to be independent of the wall material e.g., ‘fir framing’ vs. ‘16” fir framing’. See attached image if it helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set my framing to use the 'default' in the wall definition - per my attached image in the post above. Then, in the build framing dialog, you can enter 16", 24" or __". I think that's the way the new X13 template plan is setup as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the Material Name? In the X13 templates, I believe the material is just Fir Framing. The OC references have all been removed.

No I was referring to the grading stamp on the framing material used in construction. It seems that Fir is used in the West and Spruce is used in the East and Pine is used in the South but only Fir is used in Coeur d'Alene for some reason. Every piece of lumber that I have seen is stamped S.P.F. which I believe covers the majority or situations in North America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottharris Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Renaming the framing to "...SPF" will not impact the framing spacing - provided you have 'default' checked in the wall definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPF (Spruce Pine Fir) is a premium product and is probably the 2nd most common. 1x framing material is pretty much always Common Pine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That non default setting did not come from my template file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief-Tony Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Any way to add framing material types in the framing catalog like SPF, Western Red Cedar, Eastern White Cedar, (In exposed frame areas) Green Treated, Brown Treated, Ground contact treated ETC... Or be able to change the name Fir in the wall type definitions tab. To make the materials list accurate up front and not have to dissect the material list at the back end when were crunched for time. Fir studs aren't readily available here and cost a fortune to order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Yes ....you can add or make a new material ..... NO ....the materials list will always say FIR .... the ML is Hard Coded to call all Framing FIR But the Framing Schedule uses the Material Name for the material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 24 minutes ago, Kbird1 said: NO ....the materials list will always say FIR .... the ML is Hard Coded to call all Framing FIR Not exactly true. In X13 you can edit the material name in the individual framing objects' Components panel and you can also use Structural Member Reporting to control the material name for anything set to Report Actual Lengths.

Sounds like there are some new Options in X13, it is still a lot of Extra Work, that shouldn't be necessary especially since the Framing Schedule can already do it auto. and would be pretty cumbersome with multiple materials as Tony mentioned.
