I hope this is an easy question regarding the shear stirrup spacing...
Does the program insert a stirrup at the start location specified? For example, in the image below, is there a #3 2-legged stirrup provided at 0.00', 0.25', etc. or do the stirrups begin at 0.25'?
Thanks!

As per the image attached the program is assigning #3 2-legged stirrup at 0.00'.
So then is the schematic in the program incorrect?
In the example below, I would like to place a #6 stirrup at 6" from the end of beam to 18" into the beam. This equates to 3 stirrups. If I designate #6 to start at 0.5' and end at 1.5', the schematic shows 2 stirrups.
If I designate the #6's to start at 0.0' and end at 1.5', I get the 3 stirrups I would expect.
Thanks,
