This limitations on notch sizes and locations have been implemented in the program. Warnings appear in the user interface when users enter invalid notches for known member sizes, and the program takes the notch size into account when searching for a design for unknown member size. The exception given for glulam tapered notches in 5.4.5 has been implemented.
