hollister design Studio Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) I'm drawing some details in Landmark and was wondering if there where preinstalled End View Joist and/or Joist Hanger symbols in the resource manager. A quick search for 2 x 4, stud, joist, joist hanger, hanger has come up with metal joist and other objects - but not what I'm looking for. I'm sure I'm just searching for the wrong term, or are these more something that one would make themselves? Also, I found the screw tools in the detailing tool set, is there a 'nail tool' too?

CipesDesign Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 As far as I know the only joist hangers included in VW's are part of the Framing Member Plug In and only for Top/Plan View. For details (front and side views) I go the the Simpson site and download their .dwg files, then import (into a separate file!) and clean them up. Over the years I have amassed a fairly large collection of the most commonly used ones which I keep up to date in their own VW's document (you could also use this document as a resource, making it browsable in all documents). As for nails, it's easy to draw one and use it. Depending on the scale, two lines in a "T" shape might be adequate. You could also maybe use the "Screw" with no threads. Quote Link to comment
hollister design Studio Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 @CipesDesign That's what I thought, just didn't want to be 'doing it wrong' if there was a tool that was included. Love Ashland BTW, always stop for the night when driving up to Willamette to visit the inlaws! Quote Link to comment
