Floor Joist Framing to change Direction, to perpendicular where specify,

[buzzsaw204]

hi, 

 

Is there a setting to change a joist direction perpendicular, in a specified area??

 

In a case where a house canteliver, I would like to have my Joists run perpendicular to the main floor area.

 

When I indicate my direction with the arrows,   it would not allowed to do so.

I keep what I can that CA generates and manually change/rotate where I feel the need.

The message says you can't change joist direction for a single platform. You can probably get what you need by splitting the platform using a bearing line or room divider or wall set to be a bearing wall or something.

How would the program ever know where to split the framing if you drew more than one joist direction line in the same platform?

 

 

This is what it does when you add some bearing lines/walls to tell it what you want:
