Section size: The main material (e.g. ' W12x45 ') of the girt(s). Only materials listed in the local shape file can be specified here.
| Valid Section Sizes for Girts |

Note: Girt work lines (stick form member lines) are drawn across the top flange center line of a wide flange or tube girt. For a channel girt, the workline is along the heel of the top flange of the channel. For an angle girt, the work line is drawn along the outside corner of the angle.
Piecemark or System piecemark or User piecemark or Frozen piecemark :
Sequence :
Girt rotation: The positive or negative number of degrees of rotation ( 90 to - 90 ) from web vertical. If you are looking along the member workline toward the left end of the member, a positive entry rotates the member counterclockwise that number of degrees.
If this box is checked (
), " Web rotation " is disabled (grayed out) and a full-featured SDS2 program will use the " Girt rotation " that is entered on this window.
If the box is not checked (
), a full-featured SDS2 program will reset the rotation based on the " Web rotation " (exception: When " Girt rotation " is ' 90 ' that value will apply).
Toe direction: Up or Down . This applies when the " Section size " is a channel or angle.
' Up ' points the toe(s) of the angle (or channel) up in a plan view if the " Girt rotation " is ' 90 ' degrees.
' Down ' points the toe(s) of the angle (or channel) down in a plan view if the " Girt rotation " is ' 90 ' degrees.
Please note: If the " Girt rotation " is ' -90 ' degrees, selecting ' Up ' points the toe(s) of the angle (or channel) down.
Long leg: Horizontal or Vertical . This applies when the " Section size " is an angle.
' Horizontal ' sets the long leg of the angle to be horizontal if the " Girt rotation " is ' 90 ' or ' -90 ' degrees.
' Vertical ' sets the long leg of the angle to be vertical if the " Girt rotation " is ' 90 ' or ' -90 ' degrees.

WP to WP length, plan: The work point-to-work point distance (in the primary dimension " Units ") spanned by this girt's work line in a plan view, ignoring elevation. The distance is calculated from the X and Y (but not Z) global coordinates of the girt's work points.
Note: If the girt is sloped out of the plan view elevation, the distance reported here is not the actual work point-to-work point length, but rather the distance spanned at a single elevation.
WP to WP length, actual: The actual length of this girt's work line (in the primary dimension " Units "). The distance is calculated from the X and Y and Z global coordinates of the girt's work points.

| Left end of members in an elevation view . |
indicates that, in a full-featured SDS2 program , all options are disabled (grayed out) under [ Left end settings ] or [ Right end settings ] , thus preventing users from making changes to the end connection. To preserve the connection, users of that program are also prevented from manually editing or cutting or deleting connection materials on this end of the member.
indicates that a user of a full-featured SDS2 program is allowed to edit the options under [ Left end settings ] or [ Right end settings ] .

Connection: Force and/or Graphical .
' Force ' does not apply since no connections are designed on girts.

End elevation: The elevation (in the primary dimension distance " Units ") of the work point at this end of the girt.
Web rotation: Automatic or Web vertical or Hip and valley or Web normal . See the " Girt rotation " field, rather than this field, to determine how the girt is rotated around its workline.

See " Determining left end & near side " if you are unsure which end of this girt is the left end and which is the right.
Field clearance: If this option is selected ( 
), then the value reported is the distance (in the primary dimension " Units " or in other units ) from this end of the girt to the face of the member this end of the girt frames to.
Input minus dimension: If this option is selected ( ), the user of a full-featured SDS2 program has entered the value reported here. That value is the distance (in the primary dimension " Units " or in other units ) from the girt's work point to the edge of the material. The distance is measured parallel with the workline of the girt.
Automatic minus dimension: If this option is selected ( ), then the distance reported here has been automatically calculated. That value is the distance (in the primary dimension " Units " or in other units ) from the girt's work point to the edge of the girt's main material. The distance is measured parallel with the workline of the girt.
Connection setback: Not applicable at this time since SDS2 programs do not support automatic connections on girts.
Input material setback: If this option is selected ( ), the user of a full-featured SDS2 program has entered the value reported here. That value is the distance (in the primary dimension " Units " or in other units ) from the work point at this end of the girt to the girt's main material. This distance is measured parallel with the workline of the girt.
Automatic material setback: If this option is selected ( ), then the distance reported here has been automatically calculated. That value is the distance (in the primary dimension " Units " or in other units ) from the work point at this end of the girt to the girt's main material. This distance is measured parallel with the workline of the girt.
Standard Detail: None or a standard detail name .
If ' none ' is entered here, then no standard detail will be applied on this end of the girt when this girt is auto detailed .
If a ' standard detail name ' is entered here, the next time the auto detailing of this girt is done in a full-featured SDS2 program , the reference point of the standard detail will align with the input work point on this end of the girt, and the standard detail's bill of material will be combined with the girt's bill of material.

A left- and right-end "
At this time, the only connection type listed for girts in this summary will be " (Plain end) ."
If other girts share the same piecemark as the one girt you are editing, the summary lists those other girt by member number (20 in this example).
If the girt is part of a group member, the summary shows the group member piecemark .

"Properties" opens the Edit Properties window, on which you can make entries to custom properties . If, at the time it was created, your current Job was set to use a legacy flavor, the window that opens is named Custom Properties , not Edit Properties .
The Edit Properties window can also be used to read "
Tip: Model > Member > Properties is an alternative to this button. It opens the Edit Properties window directly, without your first having to open a member review window.
" Status " opens the Member Status Review window for the girt(s) that you are reviewing. You can use that window to update status information about the girt(s).
OK " (or the Enter key) closes the Girt Review window (this window) and saves to the member file(s) any changes made on the Member Status Review window.
Change all: If you double-clicked a girt and made a change to its status and the 3D model contains more than one girt that has the same piecemark, a yes-no dialog opens after you press " OK ." On that yes-no dialog is the question, " Do you want to change all .... " Press the " Yes " button to update the status of all the girts with this piecemark; press the " No " button to change only this one girt.
Tip: The yes-no "change all" dialog tells you the count of the members with this " Piecemark ." Another way to find out the count of members under the piecemark is to look at the information under "
" Cancel " (or the Esc key) closes this window without saving any status changes made on the Member Status Review window.
" Reset " undoes all status changes you made to this member on the Member Status Review window.
"Design Calc" outputs a report that includes this girt's general specifications and left/right end settings. If you are reviewing multiple girts with the same piecemark (or different piecemarks), you get a report for each girt. Each report is output to the destination specified at User and Site Options > Output > " Reports ."
Tip: To get a report listing similar specifications for multiple members, output a Check Report .
"Expanded Calc" outputs the Expanded Connection Design Calculations . Output is to your web browser.
Expanded Connection Design Calculations on a girt are fairly limited since only ' Plain end ' connections can be applied to girts. Certain browser requirements must be met in order for you to access this report.
If you are reviewing multiple girts with the same piecemark (or different piecemarks), you get a report for each girt.
