Maximum beam span?

Postby gabe1939 » Sun Jun 04, 2017 3:17 pm

Hello everyone,
is there a maximum beam span that I need to keep in mind or rule of thumb I need to follow?
I do not see anything in the program.
Thank you in advance.

Rule of thumb is 40' for beams and 30' for joists.
There is no specific limitation. These are just guidelines.
