Wall framing takeoff: hold-down counts now have page controls

The nail section of the page gained hold-down fields, so the typed-rule hold-down count and its budget line no longer need the command line.

The hold-down count in wall-framing-takeoff was command-line only. The "Nails by connection" section now has three fields: hold-downs at wall ends, hold-downs beside openings at least a typed width, and a price per piece. They save in plan files and feed the "Hold-downs" budget line.

It multiplies a rule you type; which walls need hold-downs is the engineer's call. The change is covered by a wiring test only, not checked in a real browser or against a real plan. Layout aid, not engineering advice.
