Method and system for identifying conflicts in a floor joist to floor joust horizontal interface

A computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage device readable by one or more processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by one or more processor for performing a method comprising:
• accessing a model of a building;
• selecting a set of floor joists, wherein the floor joists consist of a set of members;
• isolating a plurality of the floor joists, wherein the floor joists interface with another floor joists in a horizontal type interface;
• selecting members of the floor joists involved in the interface, wherein the interface is identified as a connection between the floor joists;
• detecting the member type and the interface type;
• calculating a set of actual values associated with the interface type;
• comparing the set of actual values with a set of required values and determining the delta of the actual values and the required values;
• and
• identifying each interface where the delta is outside a predetermined range.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processors in communication with the memory;
• program instructions executable by the one or more processors via the memory to perform a method, the method comprising:
