What happens here
The presenter uses the pointer to show how floor joists land directly on a central interior wall within the model, designating this as a load-bearing wall. He explains that an overlap in the rafters directly above this wall is a primary reason why this central interior wall is crucial for structural support.
Goal: Understand the role of interior load-bearing walls in supporting joists and rafters.
