Also, pay attention to **Offset Distance of Split** parameter in **Configs** → **Framing Configuration** → **Common Settings** → **Modify Configuration Settings** tab:
**Offset Distance of Split** – defines splitting distance for selected rim joist from selected joist.

**Offset Distance of Split** – defines splitting distance for selected rim joist from selected joist.
*Example: **Offset Distance of Split** = 300mm:*
### Split Bridging/Nogging
**Split Bridging/Nogging** – splits selected bridging/nogging by selected joist.
### Delete Splits
