Hi,
I have put together a prefabricated deck and schedule (attached) to be reused for our structures. It's just a series of rectangular extrusions in the generic model template - 'bearer', 'joist' and 'decking board'. It flexes okay and I have added the 'HostFamilyID' parameter to be able to schedule decking members in groups according to each deck.
Still, the schedule is convoluted, for example listing 'joist height' in a separate column to 'bearer height'. I'm sure there is a better method that perhaps uses existing structural families and schedules more simply.
Could experts please provide opinions on the best way to build and schedule these decks? Thanks!
