Residential Details
Here you can view and download individual floor and roof details for your use. If you don’t have AutoCAD, you will need to sign up for a free account and use Autodesk Viewer, a web-based applications. Alternatively, you can download a free viewer by visiting this link and downloading the DWG TrueView application.
The details on this site are recommended for all I-joists and beams. However, since manufacturers differ in specific requirements, the details provided here are generic. Consult the appropriate manufacturer or the designer of record for information not provided.
For AutoCAD Users: These details are compatible with AutoCAD R14 and newer. They were created at a 1:1 scale and use colors 30 and 134. For best output results, please use the following settings and fonts:
- Copy the ARCHS.SHX font into your font directory. (ARCHS font may be distributed freely.)
- Insert details into a drawing using a scale factor equal to your intended plot scale (e.g., use a 48 scale factor when plotting to a 1/4″=1′ scale)
- Set the Lineweight of color 30 to .0075″ in your Plot Style
- Set the Lineweight of color 134 to .0039″ in your Plot Style
- Set your drawing LTSCALE to 1/4 of your intended plot scale (e.g., LTSCALE=12 when plotting to a 1/4″=1′ or 48 scale factor)
To view details, click on a highlighted detail group below. You may then select a detail to view or download by clicking on either a detail hex or the highlighted detail number next to the description. In Volo View, right-clicking once you open the drawing will offer you basic drawing-control capabilities such as Zoom, Pan and Layers.
