The “Unbalanced Load” note no longer appears on component drawings in IntelliVIEW. It was included in version 24.02.01D but has been removed starting with version 25.02.01.
Additional Information
This change was made following an engineering decision. Customers with questions or concerns should contact their supporting Engineering team for clarification at 1-800-521-9790
Insight from the Engineering Team;
“The unbalanced snow load note was removed because it is redundant with the information already provided on the truss design drawings. The snow criteria box includes the applicable snow load parameters, and the code criteria box identifies the governing building code and ASCE 7 standard used for design.
Where unbalanced snow loading is required by the applicable code, it is inherently considered as part of the design in accordance with those criteria. As such, including a separate note specific to unbalanced snow loading is not necessary, since compliance with the governing code already encompasses those provisions.”
