• Gap to Support – Sets the gap between the end of connect shape and the flange of support shape in the direction of the connect shape. A positive value determines the gap. A negative value is to be read as its absolute value. The default is 10 or 0.4 depending on the units setting.
• Upper Offset – Sets the offset of the joint plate to the inner edge of the upper flange of the connect shape. A positive value determines the length. A negative value is to be read as its absolute value. The default is 10 or 0.4 depending on the units setting.
• Lower Offset – Sets the offset of the joint plate to the inner edge of the lower flange of the connect shape.

  (Not applicable for Cleatconnection type.)

  A positive value determines the length. A negative value is to be read as its absolute value. The default is 10 or 0.4 depending on the units setting.

• Connection Type – Sets one of the options selected from available connection types. The default selection is Cleat.
• Position – Sets the side of the joint plate attached to.
  • Left , Right – Sets the location of the joint plate attached to either left ro right side of the web of the connection shape.
  • Double – Creates two plate attached to both sides of the web of the connection shape. (Applicable to Cleat connection type.)
• Radius – Sets the round corner radius of the created plates. Enter a positive value to determine the diameter. A negative value is to be read as its absolute value. The default is 5 or 0.2 depending on the units setting.
• Thickness – Sets the thickness of the Cleat plates.

  (Applicable to Cleat connection type.)

  A positive value determines the thickness. A negative value is to be read as its absolute value. The default is 10 or 0.4 depending on the units setting.

• Web Offset – Sets the gap between the web of the support shape and the extruded web of the connection shape.

  (Applicable to Connecting Shape connection type.)

  A positive value determines the web offset. A negative value is to be read as its absolute value. The default is 20 or 0.8 depending on the units setting.

• Bottom Distance – Sets the .

  (Applicable to Modified Stiffner connection type.)

• End Offset – Sets the distance between the edge of the cleat and the first hole center.

  A positive value determines the End Offset. A negative value is to be read as its absolute value. The default is 20 or 0.8 depending on the units setting.

• Group – When checked, the selected shape, plate and other created objects are arranged to form a group. If the selected shape is already part of an existing group then the created objects are added to that group.
• With Bolts – Enabled for Group. When checked, the bolts are added to that group.
• Standard Stiffener – When checked, creates standard web stiffeners on the support shape. This is only valid when there is one connection beam selected.

(Applicable to Cleat connection type.)

• Web Cut – When checked, enables creation of web cut.
• Cut Radius – Sets the radius to the web cut.
