The Shear Wall Details section provides a comprehensive visual breakdown of your lateral force-resisting elements, making it easy to verify design assumptions and understand load paths at a glance. This view highlights the specific locations and calculations used in each segment of the wall, including:
Post sizes and reactions
Top and bottom plates
Headers
Wall height and segment lengths
Calculated deflections and drift values
Each detail below shows the assumptions of the LAVA model and displayed to match the actual geometry and framing layout. Whether you're reviewing design output or preparing submittals, these annotated images give you and your team the confidence that every piece of the wall is designed to code—with clarity, accuracy, and speed.
