There are a few differences between BC Framer and MiTek Structure that are important to understand especially when using our BC Connect® software and cutting holes in EWP material.
- Structure has the option to Consolidate Labels (Yes/No). This should be set to "Yes". BC Framer does not offer this setting and will always consolidate labels.
- Structure has the option to Include Holes in Consolidation (Yes/No) for joists, beams and accessories. This should be set to "Yes" for all member types. BC Framer does not offer this setting and will always Include Holes in Consolidation.
The option to Auto-Adjust Ends of Linear Framing is now available in both applications. Leaving this set to "No" will allow you to define the left end of a member. If you allow the left end to be defined you should enable the program to show the Left End indicator.
If Auto-Adjust Ends of Linear Framing is set to "Yes" the left end will always reset to Left or bottom as viewed on the planview window. You will not have this tool in your right-click menu.
Only available if the property is set to "No".
