Vignette - Structural Connections

Postby oneonth3run » Tue Jul 18, 2017 10:25 pm

Hi All,

Just going through the vignette for the first time and would like some clarity on the connections of various elements. Below is a screenshot, I'm primarily wondering about:

    Slab-on-grade @ wall
    Footing @ wall
    Ceiling joist top chord @ wall

Am I drawing them correctly?


Thanks!

For the slab-on-grade, you're good. NCARB is actually flexible on that detail, but I did it the way you've shown and passed.
Footing is the same, although I pulled my foundation walls up to top of slab. Either passes.
Ceiling joist top chord, click it a couple of clicks into the wall.

One error you have is that your non-rated wall doesn't go above ceiling. Push it up 6".

NCARB's video on the vignette clarifies these issues.
