Rim Joist Options?

PlusSpec Community Floor Tools

Does anyone know how to select a Rim Joist option when I have I-Joist flooring selected? PlusSpec only has an I-joist option for beams. I’m located in the United States so please consider US construction methods.

Good Day Dhet87,

Thanks for posting.

There is a tick-box option in the dialog called ‘Include Perimeter Beams?’ for the I-Joist option which will draw the same beams (type & size) around the perimeter of the shape drawn. However if you want a different beam type and/or size for these beams, then it’s recommend to use the Beam Tool :beam-tool: in the current version.

Could you please try this and let me know how it goes?

Thanks and have a great day.

Yes, manually placing a beam works. Can you and your team work on creating “different” perimeters for flooring? OSB rim boards would be very helpful.

Great, glad to hear that worked for you!

Thank you for your suggestion, I will pass this onto the development team.

Thanks and have a great day.
