# Create a Diaphragm Calculator

> Link wind loads into a diaphragm calculator and set the tributary height.

With wind pressures calculated, create a diaphragm calculator to see how loads move through the building.

Key steps:

* **Add diaphragm calculator:** Search for "diaphragm" and create a new calculation
* **Link wind loads:** Use the link button to connect your wind calculator; select the zone pressure that applies to your design (e.g., edge or corner zones for conservative values)
* **Tributary height:** Automatically extracted from Project Defaults (midpoint-to-midpoint of adjacent walls); override if your framing differs
