jmartinarch Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I see all kinds of fasteners in my tool set even a 'detail wood cut' tool, but no hardware like joist hangers, post bases, brackets....Simpson stuff! Is there a resource for these items? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 hi jm, I have made my own, over time, by downloading the free .dwg files directly from Simpson and modifying to suit my needs. I agree that it would be nice to have such items available in a "stock" VW's install... FWIW, if you use the Framing Member for joists, there is an option to "show hangers" but unfortunately this is only for 2d (top/plan) views. Quote Link to comment
jmartinarch Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Yes I was working on some details. So I converted some dwg versions of hangers. Thanks, JM Quote Link to comment
Markvl Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 JM another good place to look is the Sketchup Warehouse. I've got a few from there. Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Vector Depot has an older file containing the Simpson Strong-Tie Catalog already converted to Vw Symbols. It does date from 2008 - much of it may be out of date. Symbols - Vector Depot Quote Link to comment
