I once used the free one from Truss Joist McMillian, and maybe that is the way to go again, if is is still available. I stopped because I am on a Mac, but now I can use Boot Camp, so the sky is the limit, but free (or cheap) is nicer. All I need to do is some basic sizing of wood members (beams, slopped valley rafters etc). The problem with the Truss Joist program is that it spits out their product, and you have to convert to sawn lumber to see if something simple will work. Not a hard step, but I would rather get sawn options.<BR /> <BR /> thanks</T></DIV> Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:00:59 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Restored-Need-structural-program/m-p/165865#M19047 Rick Thompson 2008-09-16T14:00:59Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Restored-Need-structural-program/m-p/165866#M19048 You might check into Woodworks and BeamCheck software. they may be a good low-cost solution for you.<BR /> You can also find a few calculators here: <A href="http://www.awc.org" target="_blank">http://www.awc.org</A> Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:59:05 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Restored-Need-structural-program/m-p/165866#M19048 Anonymous 2008-09-16T14:59:05Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Restored-Need-structural-program/m-p/165867#M19049 also, simple for architects:<BR /> ASDIP<BR /> 407 284 9202<BR /> <A href="mailto: support@asdipsoft.com">support@asdipsoft.com</A> Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:05:48 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Restored-Need-structural-program/m-p/165867#M19049 Rakela Raul 2008-09-16T17:05:48Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Restored-Need-structural-program/m-p/165868#M19050 I like (and use) Beamchek. <A href="http://www.beamchek.com" target="_blank">www.beamchek.com</A> Tue, 16 Sep 2008 22:21:43 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Restored-Need-structural-program/m-p/165868#M19050 Richard Morrison 2008-09-16T22:21:43Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Restored-Need-structural-program/m-p/165869#M19051 How about on concrete structural?
