Main Features
Add/Modify Bracing
Add/Modify Bracing – features for adding/modifying braces between joists or rim joists, corner braces and brace groups.
Add Strapping Bracing (external/internal side)
Add Strapping Bracing (external/internal side) – adds a brace between two selected joists on external or internal side of framing. To modify brace settings go to Floor+M → Add/Modify Elements → Add/Modify Bracing → Modify Brace. Default families for bracing are I_MF Strap.rvt (in Imperial projects) and M_MF Strap.rvt (in Metric projects).
Example: Select a bottom rim joist and a top rim joist to show where bracing should end. Points selected should be as close as possible to where you want the bracing ends to actually be. (I.e. If you generically select a bottom rim joist and top rim joist, bracing might not be placed where you actually want it, so select the points precisely where you want the bracing to be placed.
Add Brace between Joists/Rim Joists
Add Brace between Joists/Rim Joists – adds a brace between two selected joists/rim joists on external or internal side of framing. To modify brace settings go to Floor+M → Add/Modify Elements → Add/Modify Bracing → Modify Brace.
Example: Select a bottom rim joist and a top rim joist to show where bracing should end. Points selected should be as close as possible to where you want the bracing ends to actually be. (I.e. If you generically select a bottom rim joist and top rim joist, bracing might not be placed where you actually want it, so select the points precisely where you want the bracing to be placed.)
Add Corner Brace (external/internal side)
Add Corner Brace (external/internal side) – adds a corner brace between a selected rim joist and joist on external or internal side of framing. To modify brace settings go to Floor+M → Add/Modify Elements → Add/Modify Bracing → Modify Brace.
Example: Select a bottom rim joist and then a joist to show where corner bracing ends should be. Points selected should be as close as possible to where you want the bracing ends to actually be. (I.e. If you generically select a bottom rim joist and a joist, bracing might not be placed where you actually want it, so select the points precisely where you want the bracing to be placed.
Add Corner Brace
Add Corner Brace – adds a corner brace between a rim joist and a joist. To modify brace settings go to Floor+M → Add/Modify Elements → Add/Modify Bracing → Modify Brace.
Example: Select a rim joist and then a joist to show where corner bracing ends should be. Points selected should be as close as possible to where you want the bracing ends to actually be. (I.e. If you generically select a rim joist and a joist, bracing might not be placed where you actually want it, so select the points precisely where you want the bracing to be placed.
