Beam to Wall Cutback
Setback and cutback apply when connecting beams to structural walls. The beams are independent of one
another, are only associated with the common wall, and will cut back from the wall accordingly. Recessing
the beam into a beam pocket is possible by removing the cutback with the Beam Join Editor.
Non-cutback Beam to Wall Join Cutback Beam to Wall Join
Joining a beam to a wall is achieved by drawing a beam and attaching one of its endpoints to the center of
the total wall thickness.
Column Cutback
Columns can be set back and cut back using the Beam/Column Editor. With the exception of the following
rules, columns act as beams in the default setback and cutback settings.
■
Currently, columns cut back from beams but not from one another. Beams will frame into a column
when joined at the column top.
■ Mitering between beams and columns is not currently implemented.
■ When multiple cutback beams share a join with a column, they will frame into the column. However,
if the column is cut back, the shortest beam will extend and be framed into by others in the join.
■ When a beam is framed into by a column, the symbolic line will extend one cutback distance beyond
its endpoint.
