Cut edges (diagonal) When checked, the diagonals at upper/lower cord are cut to fit the shape ends.
Top Diagonal Sets the offset of the diagonal from upper cord, if, e.g., connective plates are to be inserted.
Bottom Diagonal Sets the offset of the diagonal from lower cord, if, e.g., connective plates are to be inserted.
Cut edges (vertical) When checked, any existing intermediate studs at upper (vertical) or lower cord are cut to fit the shape ends.
