Hi!!!
Would it be possible to take a look at my solution? Comments appreciated

Do you think the n-s beam above the entrance doors at the covered porch is necessary?
Under General requirements of the program I feel it may not be warranted.
6. Lintels are required to be shown in bearing walls only. Other lintels shall not be indicated.
If feel like if you add a beam here, you might as well add one above the west window wall too.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Yes, You do need that beam above the entrance, because you need to put a beam everywhere the second level touches the first level. Do this only on the first level, not the second. So in this case, beam over the entry is required. I had this question as well, found this answer on the forum and from David Thaddeus course.
