In the 4.0 Vignette: Why is a beam required on the lower level between Common Area and Covered Entry
and not required on the far west wall of the Common Area lower level.
Does the Window Wall require anything extra?
Thanks (testing tomorrow)

In their world the roof over the covered entry interrupts the wall, and a roof cannot support a wall above it. In the real world, the lower level wall would support the upper level wall.
