I'm going to install a window in the machine hall, the window is 2m wide and 1m high. I'm considering the placement of the glulam beam. For simplicity, I want to place the glulam above the window instead of at the top under the tie beam, as the wall is 5m high. Should I maybe have double glulam beams 56x225mm side by side to gain more bearing surface for the 3 wall studs 45x170 that will stand on top? Ideally, you'd want the entire stud to stand on something. Maybe complement with angle brackets? The hall is 12x14m. The wall is framed 45x170 with 60cm centers, roof trusses have 120cm centers, double tie beams 45x170, and 1 truss lands above the window. So there will be 3 standing wall studs on the glulam. The glulam should then stand on double 45x170 at each end.
Can't you recess the glulam beam into the standing studs and then screw them into the beam? That way you'll have them properly fastened and they support on the beam, and you can still apply cladding material on the studs?
Then do the same at the support, the two posts the beam rests on.
I assume you've calculated that a 56x225 is sufficient to support the frame.
Can't you embed the glulam beam into the vertical studs and then screw them into the beam? That way you get them securely fastened, they support the beam, and you can still attach cladding material to the studs?

Yes, that's roughly how it got resolved, thanks for the tips.
