Need help with a really simple problem. Timber Decking on a ramp. Want to use 20mm Hwd on a residential ramp and need to know how do I set the member orientation please. I am looking at timber on a ramp for the decking the member span is 900mm and the decking is 20mm hwd.

Hi Denis,

Thanks for your question! The toggle for member orientation is a bit buried, but it is near the bottom of the Loads section (screenshot below). Note that the reason it’s buried is that we found that users almost never touch it - that the defaults we have for each of our presets are normally correct. But you have a more unusual design scenario here!
