Ledger on Frame Wall

You provide a Ledger on masonry but, not frame wall. Sometimes it may be necessary to have a ledger on a frame wall whether it is for a deck, stair landing, or framed roof structure.

    I find that being more specific with the connections can hurt, as some very "rigid" plan reviewers think that the report output MUST be followed.


    In fact, I may just end up not showing any connections on any beams in the future, so that I can just specify the appropriate one on the plans.


    At any rate, the connector list isn't in-sync with what is currently available in the Simpson catalog.

    Would making a change to simply read as "Ledger" be acceptable? Is there a need to specify what the ledger is attached to if the connection is not being designed?

    Irrelevant -  Ledger is either 1.5" spruce bearing or   1/5" flush beam, program does not design the connection between ledger and its support.
