Portal Frame - Dimensions tab

Setting	Description
Width	Sets the width of the hangar frame across outer steel edge.
Ridge width	Sets the roof ridge width, for an asymmetrical hangar frame. Enabled when `Box frame` is unchecked.
Ridge height	Sets the ridge height of the crossbars. Changing the value will affect the pitch of the roof. Enabled when `Box frame` is unchecked.
Dynamic	When checked, you can monitor the settings immediately on screen.
Symmetrical	When checked, a symmetrical hangar frame is generated by applying the values specified for one side to the other side. Forces the right side to use the settings of the left side.
Draw diagonal	When checked, the hangar frame (object frame) is marked with two additional diagonals. The additional lines created help better selection of the frame.
Box frame	When checked, creates a frame only with a crossbeam, without center connection, irrespective of the Ridge height.
Left eave height	Sets the height of the left eaves of the crossbars.
Right eave height	Enabled when `Symmetrical` is unchecked. Sets the height of the right eaves of the crossbars.
Top side baseplate	Sets the height of the baseplate above zero. This is the distance of the supports from floor level (the pick points of the supports) required to add base plates.
Left column offset	Sets the offset of the left column above the left eave. This is the projection of the left support upper edge beyond the height of the eaves.
Right column offset	Enabled when `Symmetrical` is unchecked. Sets the offset of the left column above the left eave. This is the projection of the right support upper edge beyond the height of the eaves.
Left roof angle	Enabled when `Box frame` is unchecked. Sets the roof angle on the left side, that defines the roof pitch of the left crossbar. Changing the value will affect the `Ridge height`t of the roof.
Right roof angle	Enabled when `Box frame` is unchecked. Sets the roof angle on the right side, that defines the roof pitch of the right crossbar. Changing the value will affect the `Ridge height` of the roof.

Width

Sets the width of the hangar frame across outer steel edge.

Ridge width

Sets the roof ridge width, for an asymmetrical hangar frame. Enabled when Box frame is unchecked.

Ridge height

Sets the ridge height of the crossbars. Changing the value will affect the pitch of the roof. Enabled when Box frame is unchecked.

Dynamic

When checked, you can monitor the settings immediately on screen.

Symmetrical

When checked, a symmetrical hangar frame is generated by applying the values specified for one side to the other side. Forces the right side to use the settings of the left side.

Draw diagonal

When checked, the hangar frame (object frame) is marked with two additional diagonals. The additional lines created help better selection of the frame.

Box frame

When checked, creates a frame only with a crossbeam, without center connection, irrespective of the Ridge height.

Left eave height

Sets the height of the left eaves of the crossbars.

Right eave height

Enabled when Symmetrical is unchecked. Sets the height of the right eaves of the crossbars.

Top side baseplate

Sets the height of the baseplate above zero. This is the distance of the supports from floor level (the pick points of the supports) required to add base plates.

Left column offset

Sets the offset of the left column above the left eave. This is the projection of the left support upper edge beyond the height of the eaves.

Right column offset

Enabled when Symmetrical is unchecked. Sets the offset of the left column above the left eave. This is the projection of the right support upper edge beyond the height of the eaves.

Left roof angle

Enabled when Box frame is unchecked. Sets the roof angle on the left side, that defines the roof pitch of the left crossbar. Changing the value will affect the Ridge heightt of the roof.

Right roof angle

Enabled when Box frame is unchecked. Sets the roof angle on the right side, that defines the roof pitch of the right crossbar. Changing the value will affect the Ridge height of the roof.
