your software should have an option for using the exceptions in ASCE 7-16 11.4.8 so that all the design parameters are calculated. Only a handful of places will NOT meet one of the exceptions. The usefulness of using software as a time saver over doing hand calcs is limited when I have to do hand calcs to get 4 different parameters that the IBC & CBC require to be on plans, i.e.: SM1, SD1, Fv & SDC.
Please add an option for employing one of the 11.4.8 Exceptions that will allow all the design parameters to be calculated for the printout.
