Outside structural columns

Ward Bouwman: oakgrounds inc; March 6, 2016

Are the (partially outside, partially inside) structural column included in the usable space?

David Fingret: Extreme Measures Inc.; March 30, 2016

Hi Ward,

Only when the condition of "Public Pedestrian Thoroughfare" exists, could the exterior portion of a partially outside / partially inside column be included as Occupant Area.

Thanks,
