Hello,
Jeez, I started typing and it came out in Chinese. I have also heard that some people, after getting a stroke, or a nasty bump on the head wake up speaking Croatian.

That's all beside my point though which is this reverse assembly. I've used it once because it allowed me to free up placement of tie beams in relation to certain, lets say constraints and wishes. Otherwise, what is the rationale behind doing the plate like this anyway, particularly in buildings with rectilinear floor plans? Is there more to it that just being more free in situating tie beams?
