My work involves 1-3 story timber structures in California. I'm looking for a program to use in designing shear walls. Any suggestions, please?
Thank you,

I'm used to doing timber structures by hand but if you must use a program, I would suggest
I have no personal experience with the program but this software is quite "visible" in the industry.
 
This would be a fairly straight forward calc to write for MathCAD or for a spread sheet.
 
I have been using software by a company based in California, called LatPro. They can be found at lateralpro.com and have very good software called LatPro 1.7 which is CBC compliant. I have used it for years and find it simple to use and very comprehensive.
