I'm working on plans for a new two story residence. The plans are at the structural engineer office. He has changed the floor joist size from 12" TJI floor joist to 16" TJI floor joists. What the best way to make the change without changing the ceiling height of the second floor ?

 

Thanks,

Mike

Assuming you make this floor joist depth change correctly, you won't have to worry about ceiling heights as they will move with the floor structure. You WILL need to manually move roof planes up the correct amount and this can be done in seconds by using the transform / replicate tool and moving them 4" up in the z-axis.
