New/Old Topic Rehash-Ridge Beam Size Still Controls the Raked Rafter Ledger Against the House-Why ??

[Archnot-Boltz]

Ok, I've made this request in the past as a request to fix a ridiculous anomaly (like how the Deck Ledger always attaches to the house rim joist instead of the sheathing (which should be the designer's option, not Chiefs) and or as a feature request to have the ability to set a default that will prevent the automatic framing mistake or developer oversight that causes the last rafter or raked rafter ledger board against the house to always match the ridge beam size . This causes multiple manually resizing of said member during the design and client presentation process, as well as a final resizing after turning off automatic roof framing. It seems like a 10 minute patch fix for the guys that write code for Chief.

 

Please add as a "Productivity Feature" in Chief 18. Humbley and mumbley (you don't want to know what I mumble) yours-BB

One way you know that the thing you request is NEVER going to be fixed is when it's like a 10m code fix. If it's not a flashy item that will attract novices who will spend $99 on Home Designer... then you better forget about it
