206 — Ledger & Top Plate, in cv-web¶
The cv-web companion to tutorial 106. What the roof and floor structure bears on, and the bolts that hold it.
Note
This lesson also exists in the browser. Work it in ConstructiVision on the web — same steps, same values, so you can follow either and end up with the same panel.
Before you start¶
Open cv-web, load the ConstructiVision Sample Building sample project, and switch to Panel mode in the top bar. Features live as groups in the properties panel on the right.
Where it is¶
cv-web calls the group Ledgers.
Note
Ledgers is a button, not an expandable group. It sits in the same list as Rough Openings and Brace Points and looks like them, but it has no chevron, no row count, and no list to open — clicking it does something else rather than revealing per-slot rows.
So the ledger values are not browsable in this list at all. Tutorial 106 shows the full row in AutoCAD, which is where you read and edit them.
It carries what cv-cad’s Ledger and Top Plate Details carries, because on a panel they are the same kind of thing: a run along an edge, with bolts.
The dual-purpose columns¶
Tutorial 106 covers the trap and it applies here too — three columns carry two names:
heading |
as a ledger |
as a top plate |
|---|---|---|
Inset/Height |
how far in from the face |
how tall the plate is |
Offset/Width |
offset along the edge |
how wide |
Diameter/Length |
bolt diameter |
how long the run is |
Same row, different meaning depending on what it carries. That is why these are one feature and not two.
The bolts come with it¶
You do not place anchor bolts separately in either product — they are drawn from this record, spaced by Max Bolt and Quan.
Honest differences¶
No modal dialog. cv-cad opens a dialog; cv-web expands a group in place.
No sheet border. The browser shows the panel, not a shop drawing sheet.
Everything the two products both expose should agree exactly. A value that differs between them is a defect worth reporting, not a difference to work around.
