I finish the plans with all details, beam sizes, shear walls..... everything that I think the engineer is going to require..... not a nail is left off..... not a holdown is missed.... a retaining wall is detailed....... shear transfers are on the plans....... ledger sizes and lag screws spec'd out......... He then reviews and makes adjustments...... i.e. an extra holdown or increase size of beam etc.My question is, how far do you as a designer take the plans before passing them to an engineer?
Ooops, I should say I eschew ordering truss calcs and Title-24 until engineering comes back.... those items are typically a formality.

The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.
