A toggle allows you to set the deflection limits for roof or floor trusses separately. Also, from this dialog box you can set the deflection limits for the; top chord, bottom chord, cantilever, and overhang for the Live Loads or Total Loads. Span/Defln The TC, BC, Cantilever, and Overhang fields contain several standard deflection values in the drop-down menus. You may also manually enter a value into the fields. Each of these fields has a minimum value set. If you specify a deflection limit that is less than the minimum, intelliVIEW automatically defaults to the minimum. The chart below shows the Minimum L/D Deflection Limits for different situations. Absolute (in.) The Absolute value allows you to specify the maximum amount of deflection, in inches, which a truss can deflect. For example, a truss might meet the standard deflection limits but not the Absolute limit. When this occurs, intelliVIEW generates a warning. Plaster Ceiling Applied The Plaster Ceiling option instructs intelliVIEW to use deflection limits of L/360 for Live Load and L/240 for Total Load. These limits are reflected in the Deflection Limits Dialog box after the Plaster Ceiling Applied option has been selected. The following list contains typical deflection limits: 1. Roof (no plaster) Live = L / 240 Total = L / 180 2. Roof Overhangs Live = L / 180 Total = L / 120 3. Floor or Roof w/ Plaster Live = L / 360 Total = L / 240
