I didn't find anything in the site search on this...I am not affiliated in any way.

It's a new online prescriptive wall bracing calculator that functions a bit differently than any others I've seen. It works dynamically with uploaded pdf plan files. It is a for profit package at $40/mo. though.

Note: from my conversations with the company, the software only supports seismic design categories A-C and does not work with SDC D yet, though it is selectable within the software (it just always reverts to A if selecting D)

It looks like it will be a very quick method of prescriptively bracing a plan in a very visual plans-oriented format.
