Instructions
Switch to Input Sheet and Input the required information in the boxes with the blue text, including: 1) Project Name 2) Project Description 3) Company 4) User 5) Bay Width (Girder Length) 6) # of Bays - along the Building Width 7) Bay Length ( Beam Length) 8) # of Bays - along the Building Length 9) Number of Floors 10) Choose whether or not to paint the top flange of the beams. The top flange may be left unpainted in order to install studs or if the paint is field applied. 11) Interior Beam Size 12) Number of Interior Beam Lines *fractions are acceptable 13) Exterior Beam Size 14) Number of Exterior Beam Lines *fractions are acceptable 15) Choose whether or not to paint the top flange of the girders The top flange may be left unpainted in order to install studs or if the paint is field applied. 16) Interior Girder Size 17) Number of Interior Girder Lines *fractions are acceptable 18) Exterior Girder Size 19) Number of Exterior Girder Lines *fractions are acceptable 20) Interior Column Sizes and Floor Heights for up to 10 Levels 21) Exterior Column Sizes for up to 10 Levels For Parking Garages: 22) Choose whether or not to include parking on the lowest level, usually slab-on-grade. When checked this option will add another floor to the area of the structure for parking calculations. 23) Floor area per Parking Space or Total Number of Parking Spaces See the examples on the 'Example' and "Ramp Example' sheets for illustrations of variables and how to handle ramps in the input
