Define the manual longitude tendons Pt. 1

Choose Layers > Longitude Prestressing > Manual Longitude Tendon > Standard Plan.
Turn on Snap to Intersection ().
Double click the Full-Span Tendon Panel tool () to edit its default properties.
In the Default Tendon Properties dialog box:
1. Set Strands per Tendon to 4.
2. Set Profile at end 1 to 8.75 inches.
3. Set Profile at end 2 to 1.25 inches, and click OK.
Note: The one-inch cover to the half-inch diameter strand determines these profiles. Strictly speaking, you should adjust Profile at end 1 at columns (to avoid a clash with latitude tendons) but you can ignore for this tutorial.
With the Full-Span Tendon Panel tool () selected, draw tendons in the bottom left panel:
1. Click at the center of the column at grid intersection A-1.
2. Click at the center of the column at B-1.
3. Click at the center of the column at B-2.
4. Click at the center of the column at A-2.
In the Tendon Panel dialog box:
1. Set Tendon Spacing to Equal.
2. Set Spacing to 6 feet, and click OK.
Note: This spacing exceeds some code maxima, but the tendon layout is for design purposes and not necessarily for detailing.
With the Full-Span Tendon Panel tool () selected, draw tendons in the next panel:
1. Click at the center of the column at grid intersection B-1.
2. Click at the center of the column at B.8-1.
3. Click at the center of the column at C-2.
4. Click at the center of the column at B-2.
In the Tendon Panel dialog box:
1. Set Auto Connect, and click OK.
Turn on Snap Nearest Snapable Point () and Snap Orthogonal ().
