General Baseplate - Inner tab

Used to define dimensions and spacings for inner gusset and hole gussets.

Setting	Description
Inner Gussets	Inner Gussets – When checked, creates plates normal to the base plate in a direction parallel to the length of the base plate adjacent to the web of the selected shape. Note: Inner gussets are typically used with Web Stiffeners. Number – Sets the number of plates to be created on each side of the web. The default is 0. 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 indicates no inner gussets are to be created. 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 between each of the inner gusset plates. A positive or negative value to determines the spacing. A negative value is not permitted. The default is 40 or 1.625 depending on the units setting.
Hole Gussets	Hole Gussets – When checked, creates plates normal to the base plate in a direction: parallel to the length of the base plate adjacent to the web of the selected shape. parallel to the width of the extra plate centred around the hole in the extra plate. Note: Enabled only when Extra Plates in Extras tab is set (other than `None`). Spacing – Sets the distance between the inner faces of the hole gussets. The default is 40 or 1.625 depending on the units setting. 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 10 or 0.375 depending on the units setting.

Inner Gussets

Inner Gussets – When checked, creates plates normal to the base plate in a direction parallel to the length of the base plate adjacent to the web of the selected shape.
Note: Inner gussets are typically used with Web Stiffeners.
Number – Sets the number of plates to be created on each side of the web. The default is 0.
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 indicates no inner gussets are to be created. 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 between each of the inner gusset plates. A positive or negative value to determines the spacing. A negative value is not permitted. The default is 40 or 1.625 depending on the units setting.

Hole Gussets

Hole Gussets – When checked, creates plates normal to the base plate in a direction:
- parallel to the length of the base plate adjacent to the web of the selected shape.
- parallel to the width of the extra plate centred around the hole in the extra plate.
Note: Enabled only when Extra Plates in Extras tab is set (other than None).
Spacing – Sets the distance between the inner faces of the hole gussets. The default is 40 or 1.625 depending on the units setting.
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 10 or 0.375 depending on the units setting.
