Basic Connections dialog

Used to assign Basic connection templates to selected joints. A Basic connection template contains all the information about the connection (such as the plate sizes and bolt locations etc) which is applied to a joint and then checked for code compliance.

A set of joints that is to use Basic connections can contain multiple connections (i.e., each with a different plate size and bolt diameter). If the first connection does not achieve compliance, then the next is checked until either a suitable connection is defined or all the selected connections have been checked. Therefore, when assigning basic connections, you will typically select multiple connections to be checked.

Opens when Connection Design >  Assign Basic Connections is selected.
