dshall Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 In X-6 they did some work on rim joists. I don't know what they did because nothing seems to work for me. Does anybody see an improvement? -I still can't specify I do not want a rim joist under a particular wall (I want a beam) -I still can't specify no rim joists ever, and then specify rim joist under a particular wall Working on a plan right now: -In several instances I have a double rim joist under a wall, I want a single (can't change it) -In several instances I have a single rim joist under a wall, I want a double (can't change it) I just don't understand why I am having to mess with this crap. Didn't the BETA TESTERS send in reports on this and if reports were sent in, would they of fixed this? Just nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcwilt Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Hey D. Scott, What you may not know is that the designers and testers spend a good deal of time discussing how best to annoy you. You should feel special! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my way home just now I check Troll Alley under the bridge and there were no rim joists either FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody see an improvement? -I still can't specify I do not want a rim joist under a particular wall (I want a beam) Draw a beam at that location -I still can't specify no rim joists ever, and then specify rim joist under a particular wall Draw a Joist at that location Working on a plan right now: -In several instances I have a double rim joist under a wall, I want a single (can't change it) Just Delete one of them -In several instances I have a single rim joist under a wall, I want a double (can't change it) Copy the one that's there 1-1/2" away I just don't understand why I am having to mess with this crap. Didn't the BETA TESTERS send in reports on this and if reports were sent in, would they of fixed this? You were one of the Beta Testers..... Did you send in a report on this? Just nonsense.

GeneDavis Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 All I wanted was the ability to specify rims separately from joists, and we've got that. Show us your plan. Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Are you two related; you sound like my kids No, not related, I think he is goofing on me. But it was a serious question. You know in the beam dvx you can specify whether the beam is bearing or not, and if it is bearing and flush, the the joists hanging off of the beam will be auto trimmed to beam. My questions was simply to elicit a reason why a floor joist could not be defined as bearing (and flush) and then the intersecting joists would be trimmed to the joist/beam. As I said, not a big deal, a "beam" will do what I want, but why couldn't a joist? Did CA purposely leave out the option for a joist to NOT BE BEARING and if so why. joist [joist] Show IPA noun 1.any of a number of small, parallel beams of timber, steel,reinforced concrete, etc., for supporting floors, ceilings, or the like. See, a joist by definition is a beam, but a series of beams. So why can't we define them as being BEARING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Yesterday I was looking at a dvx whereby I could specify whether I would get double or single rim joists under walls, now I can't find that. Anybody know where I can specify that.? It feels like I am back in the twilight zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL-inc Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 any way to set that single rim joist default to all walls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG1949 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 In regard to the original post, none of the problems attendant to the control of rim joists that D. Scott Hall pointed out has been fixed (Chief X-7). Yes, we can work around it, but wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
