General Baseplate - Flange tab

Used to define gusset plates adjacent to the flanges of the selected shape.

The plates are either Vertical Flange Gussets or Horizontal Flange Gussets.

Setting	Description
Vertical Flange Gussets	Vertical Gussets ? When checked, creates plates normal to the base plate in a direction parallel to the cross-sectional Y axis of the shape selected. Length ? Sets the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the width of the base plate. A positive value determines the length. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 sets the length to the width of the base plate. The default is 0. Thickness ? Sets the gusset plate thickness. A positive value determine the thickness. A negative value of value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 8 or 0.25 depending on the units setting. Chamfer Horiz. / Vert. ? Sets the horizontal / vertical dimension for the chamfer on the plate. A positive value determines the chamfer size. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 for either Chamfer Horz. or Chamfer Vert. indicates no chamfer is to be created. The default is 20 or 0.75 depending on the units setting. Height ? Sets the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the normal of the base plate. A positive value determines the height. A negative value or a value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 100 or 4 depending on the units setting. Offset ? Sets the offset dimension from the shape selected to the vertical gusset plate. A positive or negative value to determines the offset from the flange of the selected shape to the inside face of the plate. A value of 0 indicates no offset. The default is 0. Middle Flange Gusset ? When checked, creates two plates normal to the base plate in a direction parallel to the cross-sectional Y axis of the shape selected. Plates are position central to the selected shape. All dimensions are that of the Vertical Gussets.
Horizontal Flange Gussets	Horizontal Gussets ? When checked, plates normal to the base plate in a direction parallel to the cross-sectional X axis of the shape selected. Length ? Sets the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the length of the base plate. A positive value determine the length. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 sets the length to the width of the base plate. The default is 0. Note: If Vertical Gussets are selected the length is calculated to fit between the vertical plates. Thickness ? Sets the base plate thickness. A positive value determines the thickness. A negative value of value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 8 or 0.25 depending on the units setting. Chamfer Horiz. / Vert. ? Sets the horizontal / vertical dimension for the chamfer on the plate. A positive value determines the chamfer size. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 for either Chamfer Horz. or Chamfer Vert. indicates no chamfer is to be created. The default is 20 or 0.75 depending on the units setting. Height ? Sets the dimension in a direction parallel to the normal of the base plate. A positive value determines the height. A negative value or a value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 100 or 4 depending on the units setting. Offset ? Sets the offset dimension from the shape selected to the horizontal gusset plate. A positive or negative value to determines the offset from the flange of the selected shape to the inside face of the plate. A value of 0 indicates no offset. The default is 0.

Description

Vertical Flange Gussets

Vertical Gussets ? When checked, creates plates normal to the base plate in a direction parallel to the cross-sectional Y axis of the shape selected.
Length ? Sets the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the width of the base plate. A positive value determines the length. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 sets the length to the width of the base plate. The default is 0.
Thickness ? Sets the gusset plate thickness. A positive value determine the thickness. A negative value of value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 8 or 0.25 depending on the units setting.
Chamfer Horiz. / Vert. ? Sets the horizontal / vertical dimension for the chamfer on the plate. A positive value determines the chamfer size. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 for either Chamfer Horz. or Chamfer Vert. indicates no chamfer is to be created. The default is 20 or 0.75 depending on the units setting.
Height ? Sets the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the normal of the base plate. A positive value determines the height. A negative value or a value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 100 or 4 depending on the units setting.
Offset ? Sets the offset dimension from the shape selected to the vertical gusset plate. A positive or negative value to determines the offset from the flange of the selected shape to the inside face of the plate. A value of 0 indicates no offset. The default is 0.
Middle Flange Gusset ? When checked, creates two plates normal to the base plate in a direction parallel to the cross-sectional Y axis of the shape selected. Plates are position central to the selected shape. All dimensions are that of the Vertical Gussets.

Horizontal Flange Gussets

Horizontal Gussets ? When checked, plates normal to the base plate in a direction parallel to the cross-sectional X axis of the shape selected.
Length ? Sets the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the length of the base plate. A positive value determine the length. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 sets the length to the width of the base plate. The default is 0.
Note: If Vertical Gussets are selected the length is calculated to fit between the vertical plates.
Thickness ? Sets the base plate thickness. A positive value determines the thickness. A negative value of value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 8 or 0.25 depending on the units setting.
Chamfer Horiz. / Vert. ? Sets the horizontal / vertical dimension for the chamfer on the plate. A positive value determines the chamfer size. A negative value is not permitted. A value of 0 for either Chamfer Horz. or Chamfer Vert. indicates no chamfer is to be created. The default is 20 or 0.75 depending on the units setting.
Height ? Sets the dimension in a direction parallel to the normal of the base plate. A positive value determines the height. A negative value or a value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 100 or 4 depending on the units setting.
Offset ? Sets the offset dimension from the shape selected to the horizontal gusset plate. A positive or negative value to determines the offset from the flange of the selected shape to the inside face of the plate. A value of 0 indicates no offset. The default is 0.
