Gap
|
Sets the distance between the two selected shapes. A
negative value is not permitted.
|
Shim Clearance
|
Sets clearance for the shim. Shims do not appear in
the drawing.
|
Inside / Outside
|
Determines the placement of the connector or overlap
|
Shift Split Point
|
Causes the split point to shift by the specified
value.
|
Group
|
When checked, the entire connection, including the
connecting shape, is assigned to a construction group. If the shape is already
part of another component group, the connection will be assigned to the same
group.
|
With Bolts
|
When checked, the bolts are also added to that
group.
|
Overlap
|
When checked, the spliced shapes are overlapped to
form the connection. Enables
Overlap settings When unchecked, uses a connector.
- Offset
Other – When checked, offsets the 1st shape. When unchecked,
offsets the 2nd.
- Lap a/
Lap b/ Lap Equal – Determines overlapping shape(s) overlap relative
to the split point.
|
Bolts
|
- Bolt
Type – Sets bolt type selected from drop-down list.
- Dia./
Workllose – Sets the diameter of the bolt, and in second field sets
the hole tolerance.
- Additional
Length – Sets the length of the bolt beyond the nut.
- Turn – When
checked, the bolt direction is inverted.
- Weld – When
checked, the respective shapes are welded.
|
Connector
|
- Shape
Type – Sets the shape type to be used for the Angle Connector.
- Shape
Size – Sets the shape type to be used for the Angle Connector.
- Inverse
Leg – When checked, the X-Y legs of the Angle Shape are inverted.
Only applicable with Uneven Angles.
- Get
Defaults – Causes default values to be retrieved from the
ProStructures Database
according to the currently selected Shape Type and Size. Only applicable when
Overlap is not checked.
|
Transverse Spacing
|
Sets vertical spacings for both X and Y legs.
- Number – Sets
the number of bolts to be placed on the Y axis.
- Edge
Distance (g1) – Sets the distance from the edge of the shape to the
center of the first bolt.
- Distance
Btw. (g2) – Sets the distance between the center of the bolts.
- Inverse
Stagger – When checked, the stagger is inverted. Only applicable
where staggered bolts are used.
|
Longitudinal Spacing
|
Sets horizontal spacings.
- Number /
Slot Length – Sets the number of bolts to be placed on the X axis,
and in second field sets the slot length.
- Edge
Distance Outside (w1)
– Sets the distance from the start of the shape to
the center of the first bolt.
- Edge
Distance Inside (w2)
– Sets the distance from the end of the shape to
the center of the last bolt.
- Distance
Btw. (w3) – Sets the distance between the center of the bolts.
- Offset
Value – Sets the offset distance for staggered bolts.
