View range – cut through walls below (catch doors/windows) extend 6″ above floor level. View settings from template (cut walls hatched, walls in extents light) – show joists of course

• Tag all beams (with marks)
• Text note multi-ply beam fastening requirements
• If hold downs attach to beams below show and label
• If framing is exposed for architectural appearance consider noting that
• If framing is exposed to the weather ensure it’s noted as P.T. or exterior rated
• Ensure proper wind beams where required (such as stair openings)
• Text note all hangers (this should probably be a tag since theres so many options)
• Framing label for joists
• Text note sheathing requirements – hatch and text note areas with higher reqs
• Label collectors (collector line annotation (wip) and collector label (wip))
• Describe strange collector situations with text note and reference to detail
• Label roof slopes
• Add roof ventilation calculations from pdf – or note if unventilated
• Test note additional roof ventilation requirements
• Hatch and label over framing areas
• Callout manufactured trusses
• Callout heel heights if variable
• Overall plan dimensions not required
• Dimension roof overhangs
• Dimension floor edges/openings where not specified otherwise
• Text note describing where blocking is required
• Flag details
• Callout strange posts that are not specified otherwise
• Callout doubled joists/truss where required
• Generally clarify strange conditions with text notes
