Creating Hollow Shape Brace
- All shapes should exist prior to using this connection, they should all exist on the same plane.
- Support shape can be SHAPECLASS HE, EDGEPIPE or ROUNDPIPE in a single sided connection, however with a double sided connection with a through plate shapes are limited to EDGEPIPE and ROUNDPIPE.
- Connecting shapes can be any mix of SHAPECLASS EDGEPIPE or ROUNDPIPE.
- In the case where to connecting shapes exist, both shape2 and shape3 should be on the same centerline
- Select (Hollow Shape Brace). The command first prompts for select shape(s)
- Select shape1 (SHAPECLASS EDGEPIPE or ROUNDPIPE) Select shape2 (SHAPECLASS EDGEPIPE or ROUNDPIPE)
- (Optional) Select shape3 (SHAPECLASS EDGEPIPE or ROUNDPIPE) First time the connection is created using the internal defaults.
- From here on you can modify any/all parameters, including assignments and grouping and save them in templates for later use or sharing.
