Endplates
Used to add an end plate connection with several available layouts. The layout is automatically determined by the physical arrangement of the shapes you select for the connection. The tool dialog opens with the selected layout's options (see "Plate Layouts" below). You can change to any of the other available layouts at any time during placement.
