LatPro IRC Features

• LatPro IRC is complient to both the International Residential Code 2000 and 2003.

• LatPro IRC allows you to quickly model homes and define their lateral restraint systems without lengthy calculations.

• LatPro IRC calculates braced wall line required lengths and on center distances directly from the IRC code references. Based on wind and seismic data, LatPro IRC will make sure your building is IRC 2000 or 2003 complient.

• Save time with LatPro IRC's inline error checker which will immediatly notify you of any design mistakes as you make them!

• The error checker will constantly check that your design and site information is IRC complient, so if you make a mistake it's easy to determine what needs to be fixed.

• LatPro IRC features a design interface which allows you to see every gridline and wall that you define. Intergration with the error checker allows you to quickly find any braced wall lines that don't have the required bracing or on center distances. This simplified design interface allows you to quickly replicate a building from your floor plans without recreating every little detail.

• LatPro IRC can design cripple walls and alternate strengthend panels. All bracing adjustments are made based on building information such as number of floors and seismic design categories.

• Roof load and wall load are also analyzed and requirements are adjusted per requirement. If you have a certain amount of load, LatPro will automatically adjust the required bracing for that amount.

• A user defined note system allows you to add notes to errors so that you can notify the code reviewer that appropriate measures have been taken regarding any unresolved design errors. This allows you to build custom structures without being forced to adhere to the LatPro error system.

• Output allows you to print out a building report ready for review. Various printing options allow customize the information on your print out.

• An active help screen describes all the fields and operations of LatPro, eliminating a long learning curve.
