Adding a Cut Line to a Framing

This function can be used to add a framing line to a framing that will cut the framing. For example, you can add a line depicting a load-bearing structure in an architectural drawing. You can also add framing pieces on the cut line as shown in the figure below. As the location of the joists changes, the framing must be regenerated after adding the cut line.

Add a cut line as follows:

1. Select Floor Joists, Roof Rafters > Edit Framing Lines.
2. Select the method of selecting structure.

5. Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
