Layout & Details Drawing Generator

A major addition to SSS 6 is the new Layout and Connection Details Generator that plots framing layout of the wall and adds the connection design data (clip designation, # of fasteners, embedment, and screw pattern) to the typical connection detail. The drawing also includes framing members’ cross-sections and shapes. The drawing can be exported in AutoCAD^® DXF format.

SSS 6 provides detailed drawings for the following framing components:

• Curtain wall framing including typical stud, opening framing (jamb, header and sill), bridging, vertical deflection connections, vertical deflection and drift connections, fixed connections and screw and fastener attachment to structure
• Load bearing wall framing including typical stud, opening framing (jamb, header and sill), bridging, fixed connections and screw and fastener attachment to structure
• StiffWall shear wall framing including boundary columns, diagonal straps, corner boot connection, screw and bolt/weld attachment and anchorage to structure
