Version 0.9.9x - 12.01.2024
- Fixed a bug with the SUBTRACT_JOIST feature.
- Updated the algorithm for large span Open Joist floors.
Rather than insert a fictitious joist size that does not actually exist I decided to insert two short joist products back to back. This seems to be the typical way to handle large span floors with this product (similar examples are given in the product literature). This update was also by customer request.
The update to the SUBTRACT_JOIST feature is a critical update and I highly recommend updating to this latest version if you are using that functionality. Since the boolean subtraction of the joists happens before the final floor assembly is created I had to account for the pre-transformation of the joist geometry and include this within the subtraction method.
-
as a note though, it's also common to stagger the shorter joist sets to get more purchase on the supporting beam, certainly with plain wood or lam joists. thus one set of joists is shift to one side or the other of the opposing joists so they each extend to the full width of the beam.
probably not something you need to code though. if i needed to represent this, i would just create separate floor sections and nest them - so leave it as is now.
