NS/FS Clip Conn1 " & " NS/FS ClipConn2 " connection design locks (4 leaves)
| Horizontal brace gusset clip angles can be designed for a horizontal brace (any material type) to a beam-beam corner in order to field bolt the gusset plate to each beam's web. " NS/FS Clip Conn1 " (2 leaves) field bolts the width of the gusset plate to the web. " NS/FS Clip Conn2 " (2 leaves) field bolts the length of the gusset plate to the web. Be aware than when " Gusset clips on " is set to ' Near side ' or ' Far side ', you get 2 leaves instead of the 4 leaves you get when it is set to ' Both sides '.

NS Clip Conn1 / FS Clip Conn2
(horizontal brace to a beam-beam corner, clip angles to the webs of the beams)
|
Clip angle(s) can be on ' Both sides ' or ' Near side ' or ' Far side ' of the gusset plate. You get a leaf for " NS Clip Conn1 " and another leaf named " FS Clip Conn1 " when ' Both sides ' is selected. The same goes for " NS Clip Conn2 " and another leaf named " FS Clip Conn2 ."
