Avoiding Point Loading of HD Catnic Lintel?

It's actually referred to as a 'POLE PLATE'.

It’s the bit of wood all the other bits of wood are hanging from... there you go, problem solved

A wall plate is where the roof timbers sit and its never been any different. OP I dough't the building inspector is going to like your idea without an SE. approval.

I heard this a couple of times, never heard "ledger" though

your doubts are unfounded...

Going back to the original query, there would be no problem with joists sitting on top of the Catnic lintel but why have you finished up with the ceiling at the same level as the door head so that can't then be done ,what is the ceiling height in the garage

irrelevant, that’s just the way it is..

I think you are confused Nose a pole plate would be situated
on top of floor joists near the eaves catching the rafters.

Yes, a pole plate is a different thing - pole plates are similar to purlins but used where ceiling joists are above wall plate level ( see NHBC Standards-pitched roofs -traditional cut roofs )

As the dense concrete block cavity walls of the garage level have risen to the height required for suitable head clearance inside I find the roof joists of the garage which are the floor joists of the studio need to join the walls exactly where the HD catnic lintel crosses the doorway.

Why is it irrelevant if the joists are not in and it is only built up to door head height Do the joists have to span in that direction , is that the shortest distance , what is the ceiling height you have decided is suitable, can it be raised i.e. is it too late to change the design to get a better arrangement

Yes, Yes, No, Yes.

Yes, Yes, No, Yes.

In that case I presume it must now be built above door head height.
