Foundation bolt calculation

I think you will need to write your own macro based on the length of the foundation wall.

 

Chief seems to use "=num_foundation_bolts"  but it seems that is an inaccessible global that if you are not happy with you can't change.

Does anyone know how to change the formula for how CA calculates the number of foundation bolts?

 

Just insert a different formula in your Foundation Wall or Slab Footing Wall Defaults.  Instead of "=num_foundation_bolts" for example, you could use something like:

=num_foundation bolts*2

=num_foundation_bolts/2

=num_foundation_bolts*0.75

=num_foundation_bolts+2

 

Or, to meet code where we do most of our building, something like this maybe...

=((length.to_ft-2)/4)+1
