" Column Plate " connection design locks

These locks apply to a user base/cap plate on a column that does not frame to anything. Assuming that the " Plate rotation " is set to ' 0 ' (zero), " Plate length " is parallel with the column web. The " Column rotation " rotates the user base/cap plate along with the column.

For user base/cap plates in column-to-beam or column-to-joist framing situations, see " Column Plate ."

(a column to nothing, user base/cap plate)
(" Input connection type " = ' User base/cap plate ' or ' Auto standard ' or ' User defined ')
(" Section size " = any valid shape)
(" Column rotation " = any, ' 0 ' is shown in the example below)
( " Plate rotation " = any, ' 0 ' is shown in the example below)
" Column Plate "
When a column end with a user base/cap plate frames to nothing and the " Plate rotation " is set to ' 0 ' (zero), the " Plate length " of the column plate runs parallel with the web of the column. The " Column rotation " rotates the base/cap plate along with the column.
Hole settings for a user base / cap plate originate from Home > Project Settings > Job > Base / Cap Plate Schedule . Changing a connection design lock (here, in Modeling ) does not affect the Base / Cap Plate Schedule .
