Stiffener Connection - Dimensions tab

Setting	Description
Values	Gap – Sets the distance between the two selected shapes. A negative value is not permitted. Vertical Offset – Sets the offset distance of the Plate and connecting shape. A negative value is not permitted. If neither of the following options are checked, the distance is measured from the Plate centerline to the axis center of the connecting shape. From Group – When checked, the vertical offset is measured from the upper edge of the connecting shape to the upper edge of the Plate. Lower Edge – When checked, the vertical offset is measured from the lower edge of the connecting shape to the lower edge/boring of the Plate. Up to First Bolt – When checked, the vertical offset is measured from the upper edge of the connecting shape to the first boring of the Plate.
Cuts	Parallel to Cut Plane – When checked, the connecting shape's flange is cut parallel to the edge of the supporting shape. Otherwise, the flange gap is cut perpendicular to the direction of the connecting shape. Top / Bottom Flange Gap – Sets the gap distance between the supporting shape's flange and the connecting shape's flange. Cope – When checked, the connecting shape is coped from the web of the supporting shape by the selected cope template. Cope Template – Enabled for Cope, selectable from templates available in the drop-down list. Normal to Cut Plane – When checked, the connecting bolts are set perpendicular to the supporting shape. Flip – When checked, the Stiffener Plate is placed of the opposite side on the connecting shape.
Group	Group – When checked, the entire connection, including the connecting shape, is assigned to a construction group. If the shape is already part of another component group, the connection will be assigned to the same group. With Bolts - When checked, the bolts are also added to that group.
