Used to set the Splice Plates and the Inner Plate dimensions for the
splice connection.
.
The plate thickness of the flange plates is determined by the flange
thickness of the lower shape. The plate thickness of the web plate is
determined by the web thickness of the lower shape.

Create Splice Plates
|
When checked, creates splice plates horizontally between the
selected shapes and the transition plates. A plate is also placed vertically
perpendicular to the web plate. When unchecked, only the transition plates are
created.

- Thickness –
Sets the splice plate thickness. A positive value determines the thickness. A
negative value of value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 10 or 0.375
depending on the units setting.
- Left
Offset – Sets the distance the splice plate extends beyond the
selected shape in a direction opposite to the cross-sectional X axis of the
lower shape selected. A positive or a negative value determines the offset. The
default is 25 or 1 depending on the units setting.
- Right
Offset – Sets the distance the splice plate extends beyond the
selected shape in a direction equal to the cross-sectional X axis of the lower
shape selected. A positive or a negative value determines the offset. The
default is 25 or 1depending on the units setting.
- Top
Offset – Sets the distance the splice plate extends beyond the
selected shape in a direction equal to the cross-sectional Y axis of the lower
shape selected. A positive or a negative value determines the offset. The
default is 25 or 1 depending on the units setting.
- Bottom
Offset – Sets the distance the splice plate extends beyond the
selected shape in a direction opposite to the cross-sectional Y axis of the
lower shape selected. A positive or a negative value determines the offset. The
default is 25 or 1 depending on the units setting.
