Ok EnerCalc users: in the wood beam design module, there's a place where you can change Cm (the wet service factor). But, in the NDS, Cm varies with the design value you're using - it's different for Fb, Fv, etc. So what do I put in the Cm spot? Do I change it to check bending, then shear, then...?

Well, you could be conservative and use the smaller value based on the type of member (beam, column, etc.). Or check each separately.

You should contact Enercalc and they will likely fix this.
