Beam Support & Point Load Sizer Pro

Beam Support & Point Load Sizer Pro

Simplify preliminary wood-beam sizing directly inside AutoCAD. Enter the beam span, uniform load, and up to four point loads with their locations to compare beam candidates using bending, shear, and deflection checks.

Features

• Automatic selection of the smallest cross-sectional-area candidate that meets the included checks.
• Adjustable beam width and comparison of one through four plies.
• Support reaction calculations and required bearing lengths.
• User-entered material properties and total-load deflection limit.
• Candidate comparison showing utilization ratios.
• Calculation report export and optional insertion into your drawing.
• Organized DCL interface for entering span, loads, and material values.

Download Includes

• AutoLISP program (.LSP)
• Dialog interface (.DCL)
• Installation and operating instructions
• Matching DCL preview image

Command: BEAMSUPPORT

Designed for: AutoCAD 2002 and compatible AutoCAD versions supporting AutoLISP and DCL.

Important: For preliminary calculations of simply supported rectangular wood beams. Requires verified adjusted material values, loads, and ply load sharing. Connections, lateral stability, posts, footings, and other excluded checks require separate evaluation. Engineer review is required before construction. AutoCAD runtime testing remains pending.
