WOW! I have been freaking out for the last few days as the ARE forum is down and I take the test in a week! So, thank you, thank you, thank you for this forum!
I have a procedural question regarding the vignette. Say I draw the beam over the west wall of the covered entry, and then draw the joists spanning parallel to the beam - from the CL of the west wall to the CL of the east wall. But now, in reality, I have a joist on top of the beam at the west wall, which doesn't really make sense. So, should I stretch the joist rectangle 48" to the east? Or will the computer think I am not covering the entire roof of the covered entry with joists? Hope this makes sense.
If this is hard to understand, I will post sketches tomorrow.. Thanks for any help!!
