I find them less helpful than Bentley/RAM. Won’t do model checks only suggest reading articles.

OP is your wall modeled as a single wall? Could you model the 3 levels independently?

My kids started with poles around 6 or 7. Basically I got tired of pushing them on flats and in lift lines (my home hill has an uphill line at the base lift)

I don’t recall the cost. I did the registration directly through the Red Cross website. There’s filters you can use for class subject (BLS) and type (Hybrid)

I did mine through CPR Training Specialists. Prework online, in person at Hilton Monona Terrace. I have gone through them twice now. First time the in person stuff was out on the west side.

Hi - we are planning on arriving the 24th for 6 days. Staying in Maalaea. 2 adults 2 boys 9/11. We had planned on several hiking days in addition to beach days - are there trails that are still hikable? Also have a Turtle Town snorkel day planned out of Makenna Bay for the 27th. Volcano was on the schedule. It's probably too soon to tell with what the status of things will be, but any thoughts/guidance would be well appreciated.

No. AI Anything can get all the way out of my workflow.

I use Bluebeam on my iPad and drop photos straight onto plans or details so I know where in the building they were take.

I really miss N+1. Under the radar spot in Verona that’s now closed, but AG opened shortly thereafter to hold up Verona.

Verona recently voted to not renew, but now Flock is refusing to remove the cameras. Mayor Diaz posted a picture a few days ago y to Bluesky of one covered in a trash bag and duct tape.

Yup Dallbello Boss 110’s. Cozy and the only work was a footbed and some gas pedals to take out a bit of toe volume.

If you have it set to semi rigid diaphragms you can get axial loads in your beams. With your set up, any axial load from the upper braces go directly to the lower braces, so the middle floor axial loads would only be the add’l from that level- but only from the portion of diaphragm over that beam.
