Layout - Braces - Assign Size
The Layout - Braces - Assign Size command is used to assign sizes to the lateral braces in the model. Sizes must be assigned to the lateral braces before running RAM Frame.
For Concrete and 'Other', sizes must be defined in the PropTables - Brace Section before they can be assigned.
When Assign Size is chosen from the Layout - Brace menu, the previously defined brace sizes (in the case of Concrete and ’Other’) or a list of the available steel sections will be listed in the drop-down edit box. Choose a brace size by clicking on it. The current brace sizes can be displayed on the screen using the Options - Show Sizes command.
Click either Single or Fence.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Single: | Click the target cursor on the brace to which you wish to assign the currently selected size. |
| Fence: | Fence an area in which the currently selected size will be assigned to all braces. |
Return to the Assign Brace Size dialog box with the Right Mouse Button or the "D" key.
Return to the Layout - Braces menu with the " M" key
Clicking the Cancel button or selecting any other RAM Modeler Layout command will end the Layout - Braces - Assign Size command.
