" 
NS/FS Clip Conn1 " & " NS/FS Clip Conn2 " connection design locks
| Two clip angle connections field bolt the gusset plate at a beam-column-beam corner to the webs of the two beams. The clip angle(s) of " NS/FS Clip Conn1 " field bolt the width of the gusset to the web. The clip angle(s) of " NS/FS Clip Conn2 " field bolt the length of the gusset to the web.

Clip angle
|
Clip angles can be on ' Both sides ' or ' Near side ' or ' Far side ' of the gusset plate. You get leaves named " NS Clip Conn2 " and " FS Clip Conn2 " and " NS Clip Conn1 " and " FS Clip Conn1 " when ' Both sides ' is selected.
