Keith Pershing Posted April 29, 2001 Share Posted April 29, 2001 I've been to several bookstores and libraries looking for some kind of publication that explains VWA objects in the libraries. Most are self explanatory but there are a few like a CMU and Spl and Cpx, stagger, Type X, etc. that no one seems to have an explanation for, even contractors in the field don't know what they are. Maybe I'm talking to the wrong people. Is there a list of explanations for (Cpx) 2 Hr 2x4 Wd Stagger w/Type X or (Spl) and Cavity 5 5/8" CMU w/Brick? Or is there a glossary of terms or objects explained in the software that I have not been able to find? These are just a few of the items that I have run across but with all the libraries in VW, I am sure to find others as well. Hope you can help! Quote Link to comment

A. PETER SHERMAN Posted April 30, 2001 Share Posted April 30, 2001 Keith Most are conventions although I don't know a good reference source CMU= cast masonry units(cinder block) Type X is fire rated sheetrock, most time references i.e. 1 hr, 2 hr. relates to burn time, again fire rating, if you ask around I'm sure you will get the answers you need. quote: Originally posted by Keith Pershing: I've been to several bookstores and libraries looking for some kind of publication that explains VWA objects in the libraries.
