With wind pressures calculated, create a diaphragm calculator to see how loads move through the building. Key steps:
  • Add diaphragm calculator: Search for “diaphragm” and create a new calculation
  • Link wind loads: Use the link button to connect your wind calculator; select the zone pressure that applies to your design (e.g., edge or corner zones for conservative values)
  • Tributary height: Automatically extracted from Project Defaults (midpoint-to-midpoint of adjacent walls); override if your framing differs
