Richard: I understand the process of making annotations on the plans referencing tables. My point is, if you have a fairly large table with 10 or more types or configurations of shearwall and you are only referencing one of those types, maybe describing the specific shearwall with brief notes would be better.
Iit may not be necessary to fill up sheets with tables and schedules and a large generic lists of reference notes. Then again, it may be faster to insert tables if they are blocked and in your library. Thanks Bob L.

What I was referring to, perhaps obtusely, is that each structural engineering firm is going to have their own preferred shear wall schedule and format; there is no "industry standard" schedule that I've ever seen. Where some firms are okay with a certain number of 5/8" bolts or A35 clips, for a given shear value, others will want more or less, based on their own field experiences or risk/comfort levels. They will also have their own nomenclature for different types of shear walls, as well as associated notes. So coming up with a predefined "universal" shear wall schedule is a fruitless task.
Now it may be that you are working with a particular engineering firm on an ongoing basis. In that case, it may make sense to create a schedule for them that you can reuse.Last edited by RMorrison; 12-30-2006 at 07:39 PM.

Richard:
Just trying to learn here, this is an area that isn't covered by the IRC codes or even the local permit dept codes ?
