Allow user to choose if a wall opening spans vertically (sill-to-header) or horizontally (king stud-to-king stud).

Doors, especially overhead doors, span side to side and deliver little or no lateral load to headers.  Allowing the user to specify if the opening is a door (horizontal span) or a window (vertical span) will stop doorway headers from being over-sized for lateral load and doorway king studs from being undersized for lateral load.

    Hello!

    We are looking to deploy a solution for openings larger than 8ft. This will send load to the kings in lieu of the header for lateral wind loads.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thanks again for your input!
