Static Bracing
Used to create bracing
components.
To a large extent, you can make the program automatically create the components of a bracing. However, it is also possible to generate single components —such as gusset plates, etc.— individually.

 Create a complete bracing
|
Generates bracing rods and gusset plates in one operation. However, this function is not suitable for the connection of several rods from different systems. In this case, you should use the individual functions instead. After the action has been finished, you return to the dialog. |
 Create bracing
rods only
|
Inserts single bracing rods that are directly drilled. |
 Drill selected
bracing rod
|
Drills existing shapes on their ends, according to the definitions in the dialog field. You must select the shapes for this purpose. You will return to the dialog field afterwards. |
 Create a gusset plate automatic
|
Creates a gusset plate automatically. Select the drilled bracing rods that have to be connected and then click boundary lines for the plate edges. The program will try to find a suitable plate dimension by keeping the edge distances and the boundary lines. |
 Create a gusset plate manually
|
Determines the shape of the gusset plate manually. Select the drilled bracing rods that have to be connected and pick a point on the planned bracing end. Click the approximate position of the gusset plate. The edge distances will be displayed. |
 Set ACS
|
Sets ACS if you have not yet aligned the UCS before using the command. You can do this subsequently: the active UCS plane (and consequently the plane of the bracing) will be determined by clicking 3 points. The dialog reopens afterwards. |
