eaf3architect Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I am a new user. I am doing an as-built of a 1920s masonry rowhouse. The joist (full 2x10s) are pocketed into the exterior walls. I don't see a framing option to address this situation. My workaround has been to declare the framing as suspended, but the program wants to provide rim joist as well. I suspect others have solved this issue. Assistance would be welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I don't think you will find a setting for that but it can certainly be accomplished by editing the automatic framing and extending it into the wall so it is added to the material list. A note can specify the pocket size and bearing depth details. However if you want to show a realistic pre construction view then you will need to replace your wall with a solid and place the holes using solid subtraction which is all possible but likely can be avoided.

Alaskan_Son Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 You can get the actual pockets by using Floor Beams instead of joists. It does however require that you Wall Type definition is set to have a Brick Ledge Depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaf3architect Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Sorry for the tardy response and note of thanks....I just saw this response. I am new to modeling so trying to learn my way. I appreciate the help. Since this is an existing condition, I agree with Chopsaw, the ROI vs time is not worth it. Condition will certainly be noted once I get to CDs. Avoiding depiction of the non-existent rim joist will be my victory. Good to know the Floor Beams option as well. Should certainly help me down the road. Thank you both for your willingness to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
