Support (above and below) properties

Depth, width, height, bottom fixity and top fixity define the supports. They can vary span by span.

Strip Wizard interprets a support with a width four or more times the depth as a wall. Otherwise, it is a column.

SettingDescription
Depth The support dimension parallel to the span.
Width The support dimension perpendicular to the span (enter zero for round columns).
Height The support’s height from its base to mid-depth of the floor.
Bottom Fixity The moment connection at the base of the support.
Top Fixity The moment connection between the support and the floor.
