About This Tool
LoadTakedown provides quick and visual floor-to-wall load takedown calculations for structural engineers and designers.
- Import and scale PDF plans with ease at each level
- Define walls and floors directly on the drawing
- Colour-coded regions show support conditions at a glance
- Automatically calculate and display vertical wall loads from all contributing floors
Ideal for early-stage design and feasibility checks.
- Uniform floor loading and one-way span assumptions are applied for efficient, early-stage assessment.
- Load values are calculated at a series of key points along each wall, including region boundaries and overlaps.
- Vertical load paths only: Loads transfer directly down to the supporting wall, with no horizontal spread.
- No distribution across multiple walls: Each wall receives only the loads from directly supported floor areas, providing a transparent breakdown.
