Lumber List
A Lumber List is comprised of one or more Lumber Sets which include Lumber Species, Treatment Types, heights, widths, and stock lengths. Lumber Lists are selectable when creating components in Paragon Design.
Lumber Set
A group of lumber with specific properties.
Tip
Create separate Lumber Sets per Species/Grade when there is variability in the Dimensions and Stock Lengths properties between the different Species/Grades.
Properties
Species - The lumber species
Grade - The lumber grade
Treatment Type - The type of treatment applied to the lumber
Dimension 1 - Either the thickness or width of the lumber in inches, whichever you didn't use for Dimension 2 (ex. 1.5 x 3.5 = 2x4)
Dimension 2 - Either the thickness or width of the lumber in inches, whichever you didn't use for Dimension 1 (ex. 3.5 x 1.5 = 4x2)
Stock Lengths - The possible lengths for a stock unit of this Lumber Type.
Plate List
A list of plates. Each plate has a type and a size and can be filtered by Manufacturer, Type, and Size.
Manufacturer - The plate manufacturer. Select from Alpine, CH, MiTek, or Simpson Strong-Tie.
Type - The unique identifier for the plate, which typically indicates its manufacturer, gauge, and grade
Size - The dimensions of the plate in inches in the form "length x width"
Hanger List
A list of hangers. Hanger products that are included in the project's materials will be available for selection in Paragon Design.
Archived Material List
It is possible to archive Lumber Lists, Plate Lists, and Lumber Lists. Archived Lists are represented with strikethrough text.
Warning
When you archive a material list, components added when that list was still active will still use the archived materials. You need to manually update the lists for said projects and components.
