Define the manual longitude tendons Pt. 4

Complete the steps in "Define the manual longitude tendons Pt. 3" before proceeding.
  1. In the Tendon Panel dialog box:
    1. Set Auto Connect, and click OK.
  2. Right click on the plan and choose Selection Properties from the popup menu.
  3. In the Properties dialog box, set Profile at end 2 to 5 inches, and click OK. The longitude tendons are drawn but you need to adjust a number of profile points. Any profile point at the end of a tendon should be at the mid-depth of the 10-inch slab.
  4. With the Selection tool (), select all of the terminated tendon segments, other than those over a drop cap or within the balcony slab:
    1. Fence the tendon segments that end on grid A.
    2. Hold the <Shift> key down and repeat the procedure until you have selected all applicable end tendon segments (tendon segments terminating at grids B and D).
  5. Right click on the plan and choose Selection Properties from the popup menu.
  6. In the Properties dialog box, set Profile at end 1 to 5 inches and click OK.
  7. With the Selection tool (), select all of the terminated tendon segments over a drop cap, by:
    1. Double clicking at grid intersection A-1.
    2. Hold the <Shift> key down and double click at A-3.
    3. Hold the <Shift> key down and double click at B-5.
  8. Right click on the plan and choose Selection Properties from the popup menu.
  9. In the Properties dialog box, set Profile at end 1 to 15 inches, and click OK.
    Note: This sets the tendon anchorage profile to the centroid of the 10-inch slab, rather than the centroid of the drop cap.
  10. With the Selection tool (), double click the tendon segment at B-2.
  11. Right click on the plan and choose Selection Properties from the popup menu.
  12. In the Properties dialog box, set Profile at end 1 to 18.75 inches and click OK. Finally, you need to move the tendon that goes through the opening.
