A hand load takedown teaches the method and stays transparent; software is faster and exact on geometry. Here is an honest comparison and when each one is the right call.
Which tool should you use for a gravity load takedown? A fair comparison of StructLoads, dedicated tributary tools, calc platforms, full analysis suites and spreadsheets.
