GeneDavis Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Is there such an option? I have not done the download of beta 14. Is it there? And for packing multiples to the outside? Seems a waste of precious wood, but the builders I draw for have framers that want plated headers, i.e. a lay-flat 2x6 above and below. And they want multiples, when used, ganged up to the outside of wall. See the pic of a header done with 4 2x6s. Same look for deeper or shallower. Same top and under plates if only one ply of header.

Chopsaw Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Yes we have that in X13. And you sort of have to plate the header if it is crammed to one side or the other otherwise there is no fastening, also the plates help with deflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Thanks. I found it. Had forgotten it is in the framing specs PER OPENING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
