Modify Cantilever Frame Scenarios

The following scenarios are possible when modifying Cantilever support frames.

Cantilever - Structure moved away from pipe

In OpenPlant Modeler, the structure is moved 200 mm away from the pipe:
Select Modify Frame, select the frame, and enter:

This will increase the length of the cantilever by 200mm away from the pipe.

After pressing OK, the cantilever should now be correct:

Cantilever - Structure moved towards pipe

In OpenPlant Modeler, the structure is moved 150mm towards the pipe:
Select Modify Frame, select the frame, and enter:

This will decrease the length of the cantilever by 150mm towards the pipe.

After pressing OK, the cantilever should now be correct:

Cantilever - Change length of cantilever (pipe and structure remain stationary)

Initial placement:
Select Modify Frame, select the frame, and enter:

This will increase the length of the cantilever by 150mm away from the structure.

After pressing OK, the cantilever should look like this:
Note: The same procedure can be used to shorten the Cantilever.

Cantilever - Change Shoe Height (pipe did not move)

Initial placement:
Select Modify Frame, select the frame, and enter:

This will increase the shoe height by 100mm by moving the cantilever away from the pipe.

After pressing OK, the cantilever should look like this:

Cantilever - Change Shoe Height (pipe moved)

In OpenPlant Modeler, the pipe was moved 100mm up, and the cantilever is to stay in place, but a shoe will be added:
Select Modify Frame, select the frame, and enter:

This will move the pipe CL Connector of the cantilever to the correct location:

After pressing OK, the cantilever should look like this:
