Perimeter Trimmers - Trim Reinforcing tab

Setting	Description
Concrete Cover	Near ? Clear distance from the near (top) slab face to the bars. Far ? Clear distance from the far (bottom) slab face to the bars. Side ? Clear distance from the slab sides to the bars.
Levels	This section is used to specify the number of layers for the trimmers. If the Number Of levels is 1, you can specify the Insertion Face as Top, Bottom, or Middle. If the number of layers is > 1, the layers will be spaced evenly from top to bottom between the top/bottom covers.
Parallel	Set the option to add parallel bars around the opening edges. Parallel bars are placed parallel to the sides of the slab (edges). Select the Bar Size and then type values for Start Anchor and End Anchor lengths (end conditions can also be specified). Start and End Anchors will be placed depending upon the direction of the adjacent side of the slab. Note: If Corner bars are used, Start and End Anchors are not necessary and are hidden.
Corner	Set the option to add bars at the corners of rectangular or polygonal openings. Select the Bar Size and then type values for Start Anchor and End Anchor lengths (end conditions can also be specified). Start and End Anchors will be placed depending upon the direction of the adjacent side of the slab.
Perpendicular	Set the option to add bars perpendicular to and wrapping the parallel bar layers. Select the Bar Size and then type values for Spacing, Start Anchor, and End Anchor. Start and End Anchors will be placed depending upon the direction of the near and far faces of the slab. Bar Shape ? Bar Shape designates the main body of the bar. Select as U-Bar (e.g., ACI Type 17 or S10) or Straight. If `U-Bar` is selected, then type the Start Anchor and End Anchor lengths (end conditions can also be specified).
Placement	? Used to swap directional bars plane. Eg: if horizontal bars are outside of vertical bars, the swap button will cause the vertical bars to be outside of the horizontal bars. ? Clicking this button displays the previous segment of the current slab. ? Clicking this button displays the next segment of a the current slab.
