HSS round (or pipe)
|
An HSS round or PIPE section must exist in the local shape file before you can enter it as a " Section size " to a member or material edit window, or before its weight will be automatically calculated when you add it to the " Description " field in the bill editor. |

Adding HSS round sections to the model :
- To add an HSS round (pipe) to a member as a submaterial (pre-selection method): Select the one (1) member that you want to add the material to (so that it is displayed in the " Primary selection color ") > press F3 > filter for "
Hot / Cold Rolled " > double-click " Rolled Section " > locate two material work points > enter an HSS round (pipe) " Section size " on the Rolled Section Material window > optionally rotate the material into place > locate a material dimension reference point > right-click ( Return ) if done adding material to the member > Change All Options can be applied if the material is being added to a member that is batched together with other members that have the same member piecemark.
- To add an HSS round (pipe) as a miscellaneous member: Press F2 > filter for " Miscellaneous steel " > double-click " Rolled Section " > locate two member work points > enter an HSS round (pipe) " Section size " on the Rolled Section Edit window > right-click ( Return ) if you are done adding duplicates or variations of the miscellaneous member.
- To add an HSS round (pipe) as a legacy miscellaneous member, click here for instructions.
- Locating work points for an HSS round that is added as material or a legacy miscellaneous member should be done in a view whose work plane is orthogonal to (at right angles to) the material being added. A rolled section miscellaneous member , on the other hand, can be added and properly rotated into place even in an isometric view.
- Settings for HSS rounds added as legacy miscellaneous members or submaterial may be entered on the Rolled Section Material window. Settings for HSS round miscellaneous members may be entered on the Rolled Section Edit window. Additional settings can be found in the local shape file (see above ).
- HSS round sections can also be added to the model as the main material of a member by entering the appropriate section size (example: PIPE 12 STD) to the field " Section size " on a member edit window. Connection design can automatically design connections on HSS round columns , HSS round vertical braces and HSS round horizontal braces .

CNC :
- HSS round (pipe) material can be downloaded when ' Vernon ' or ' DSTV ' is the " CNC configuration type ." For ' DSTV ' you get the header information and holes, but not a contour.
