sespe1 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Is there a place (library) to get standard detail drawings of footings with holdowns, wall sections etc. instead of creating them from scratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH_Canada Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 there are some in the CA catalog for download. You can use those as a starting point. I did not find any that matched up here in western Canada. But it is also a matter of preference as to how much detail actually goes into them. I've just drawn my own rudimentary Simpson hold downs, hurricane ties, saddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sespe1 Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just hoping to find some copy and paste details, as shown on IRC and elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 There are some in the Core Library>CAD Blocks>CAD Details. However, they don't cover all possible conditions. So you will probably need to modify and save your new versions to your User Library - or to CAD Details in one or more "Detail Plans" which is my preferred method. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use some of their detail sheets for deck railings, shear wall panels, etc I just insert the pdf's directly into my Layouts. In fact, it's a part of my Default Layout Template.
