C1 Baseplate - Corner tab

Used to define gusset plates at the corners of the selected shape.

The plates are either Vertical Corner or Horizontal Corner.

SettingDescription
Vertical Corner
  • Vertical Corner – When checked, creates plates normal to the base plate in a direction parallel to the cross-sectional Y axis of the shape selected at the corners of the selected shape.
  • Length – Sets the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the width of the base plate. A positive value determines the length. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 sets the length to the width of the base plate. The default is 0.
  • Thickness – Sets the gusset plate thickness. A positive value determines the thickness. A negative value of value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 8 or 0.25 depending on the units setting.
  • Chamfer Horiz. / Vert. – Sets the horizontal / vertical dimension for the chamfer on the plate. A positive value determines the chamfer size. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 for either Chamfer Horz. or Chamfer Vert. indicates no chamfer is to be created. The default is 20 or 0.75 depending on the units setting.
  • Height – Sets the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the normal of the base plate. A positive value determines the height. A negative value or a value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 100 or 4 depending on the units setting.
  • Offset – Sets the offset dimension from the corner of the shape selected to the gusset plate. A positive or negative value to determines the offset from the flange of the selected shape to the inside face of the plate. A value of 0 indicates no offset. The default is 0.
Horizontal Corner
  • Horizontal Corner – When checked, creates plates normal to the base plate in a direction parallel to the cross-sectional Y axis of the shape selected at the corners of the selected shape.
  • Length – Sets the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the length of the base plate. A positive value determines the length. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 sets the length to the width of the base plate. The default is 0.
  • Thickness – Sets the gusset plate thickness. A positive value determines the thickness. A negative value of value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 8 or 0.25 depending on the units setting.
  • Chamfer Horiz. / Vert. – Sets the horizontal / vertical dimension for the chamfer on the plate. A positive value determines the chamfer size. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 for either Chamfer Horz. or Chamfer Vert. indicates no chamfer is to be created. The default is 20 or 0.75 depending on the units setting.
  • Height – Sets the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the normal of the base plate. A positive value determines the height. A negative value or a value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 100 or 4 depending on the units setting.
  • Offset – Sets the offset dimension from the corner of the shape selected to the gusset plate. A positive or negative value to determines the offset from the flange of the selected shape to the inside face of the plate. A value of 0 indicates no offset. The default is 0.
