            Upload a plan (an image, or a one-page PDF), then fit the outline to the building’s outer walls.

            Joists

            Joists run along Y, across the X axis, set out from the outer face on the left (with the bearers along Y, they run along X from the top). If the width isn’t a whole number of spacings, the last space is shorter. Each joist goes from the inside face of one timber to the next; deleted timber doesn’t hold one up. The PDF export adds a joist cutting list.

            Pile spacing

            Drag any pile to move it; it snaps to the others in X and Y. Click a pile to remove it, click again to restore. Click a span number on the drawing to type a new length for it.
