The NS and FS web plates shop bolt to the stem-vertical W tee brace and field bolt to the gusset plate. NS and FS fill plates are generated in the model if they are needed; that is, if the thicknesses of the gusset plate and the W tee web are unequal.. If the thicknesses of the W tee web and the gusset plate are the same, then no fill plates are needed, and the connection design locks for those fill plates will, by default, be populated with null values (distance entries of ' 0 ').
