  • Designed to size beams, rafters, joists, engineered wood, and steel, updates to ProBeam 4.0 software include cost-saving measures and code-compliance suggestions. The Microsoft Excel-based system analyzes framing schemes to minimize the number of headers and beams, enable the use of leftover lumber, and allow for use of materials that are more cost-effective or readily available. With as few as four inputs, ProBeam 4.0 will show up to 20 code-compliant alternatives. The user can click on each option to determine its efficiency and make the "greenest" choice, the maker says. 360.422.5663. More
