Medeek Wall Plugin
-
I wasn't paying attention to a realistic header with trimmers, just focusing on the king stud offset, I agree, a few things would need to be beefed up to handle this type of beam configuration. I've only actually engineered one job with this type of beam over window(s).
-
i don't have to do it often but a couple of recent projects have beams over doors to address the extended span of a room with the door the best option - in those cases we used steel i-beams as posts and header as well as the new beam in order to get the load supported needed with lower profile than wood products. so it's rarely needed but a useful option when you can get around to it. maybe even just leaving the space so manually someone could insert the members / assemblies would work.

Post a screenshot or send me some via email (nathan@medeek.com) so I can get a better idea what this looks like. I will give it some consideration.

@medeek I'm away until Thurs I'll send some then

wall structure using additional support for beam over door or window.![example steel framing for beam over door. you would adda stud on each edge of the steel column to support the top plates. but this is the idea. today when this arises, i just manually remove the members and add the needed assemblies.

Very interesting. Let me see what I can do.

Version 3.7.2 - 10.13.2024
- Fixed a critical bug with the in-wall column module.
- Added the following additional Wide Flange (W14) beams to the beam module: W14X38, W14X43, W14X48, W14X53, W14X61, W14X68, W14X74, W14X82, W14X90, W14X99
- Added the following additional Wide Flange (W16) beams to the beam module: W16X45, W16X50, W16X57, W16X67, W16X77, W16X89, W16X100
- Enabled a wood grain and an end grain material for glulam beams within the beam module.
- Enable additional built-in materials for "Custom" in-wall columns.
- Added the following (27 - low poly) Simpson column bases to the post module: CB7_6, CB1212, CB1012, CB1010, CB812, CB810, CB718_7, CB718_6, CB718_4, CB612, CB610, CB88, CB86, CB68, CB64, CB48, CB46, CB9_105, CB9_75, CB9_9, CB9_6, CB7_105, CB7_75, CB7_9, CB6_7, CB5_45, CB5_6
- Added the following (6 - low poly) Simpson column caps to the post module: CCQ84, CCQ86, CCQ94, CCQ96, CCQ98, CCQ106

Version 3.7.2b - 10.14.2024
- Added in the remainder of the commonly available wide flange beams (W4 thru W44).
I think it comes to just a little over 250 different W flange beam profiles. However I'm sure there are some profiles I am missing or that are not as standard, if so let me know and I will add them in.
-
Version 3.7.3 - 10.14.2024
- Added a duplicate post check to the regen module for post assemblies.
- Added a duplicate beam check to the regen module for beam assemblies.
- Added a duplicate stair check to the regen module for stair assemblies.
- Added in the remainder of the commonly available wide flange beams (W4 thru W44) to the post module.
