Drop cap and drop panel properties
Thickness, width, before length and after length define the drops. They can vary span by span.
It is possible to have drop caps and drop panels at the same support. The drop cap should be the thicker of the two.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Thickness | The total thickness (structural depth) of the drop. This is not the incremental increase in thickness. |
| Width | The drop dimension perpendicular to the span. |
| Before Length | The dimension parallel to the span from the beginning of the drop to the support center. |
| After Length | The dimension parallel to the span from the support center to the end of the drop. |
