Pour Stop

General Tab

Model Complete date : **NOT SET** or a month day year .

Needs Detail : or .

means this member will automatically be selected for detailing the next time you Detail Members . All members whose details have not yet been generated or which have been altered in Modeling since the time that their details were generated are automatically marked for detailing.

means that the member has undergone Detail Membersand has not been altered in Modeling since that time. Or it means that the user has switched this button to ' NO ' to prevent a detail from being detailed again.

Graphical : or .

If the box is checked ( ), this means the member has had a modification made to the member outside of the member edit screen. This can be made graphical by doing a Cut Layout , Exact Fit , Mitre , Cope , Notch , Cut on Plane , Chamfer or Edit Material on a material generated by the system or by deleting any attached materials. Edit Hole on a system-generated hole or erasing a hole in the main material also makes the member graphical, but Add Hole does not. Create Solids will not alter graphical members ( exception : Create Solids does match holes and generate bolts through matching holes). On the General Information window for member main material that is graphical, you will find that the material is tagged as " User modified main member material ."

If the box is not checked ( ), this means that the member has not had a modification made to the member outside of the member edit screen. If this is unchecked, when you press "OK ", the member will be regenerated to the settings that are in the member edit screen. This means, for example, if the main material has been cut into using the Cut Layout command, the cut will disappear after you press " OK " .

Note: Add Material or Add Hole or Add Bolt does not change the member to graphical ( ). Materials, bolts and holes added to main material are preserved through Create Solids regardless of whether the member graphical checkbox is checked or unchecked.

Swap end points : or .

If the box is checked ( ), the Point1 and Point2 settings on this member are swapped when you Process and Create Solids. The member's origin reference point is reversed to the right end, as is the position of the member's piecemark. Checking this will cause the horizontal leg direction to go the opposite way.

If the box is not checked ( ), the left and right ends of this member as depicted on the member detail match the orientation of the member as it appears in the model.

Bolts Horiz Leg : or . Same as " Add bolts " under the " Horiz Leg " tab. If this box is checked ( ), bolts are inserted through the holes in the pour stop horizontal leg and supported member. This option is disabled (grayed out) in the " Horiz Leg " tab when the " Hole spacing type " is ' NONE '.

Bolts Vert Leg : or . Same as " Add bolts " under the " Vert Leg " tab. If this box is checked ( ), bolts are inserted through the holes in the pour stop vertical leg and supported member. This option is disabled (grayed out) in the " Vert Leg " tab when the " Hole spacing type " is ' NONE '.

Add Top View : or . When the checkbox is checked ( ), the top view is drawn on the member detail.

Add RE View : or . When the checkbox is checked ( ), the right end view is drawn on the member detail.

Member Data

Pour Stop Type :L or C or Z or Angle. The L, C, and Z shapes are bent plate materials, where angle is a rolled section from the shapes file.

Pour Stop thickness : The thickness of this bent plate (in the primary dimension " Units " or other units or the gage ). (Only applicable when the Pour Stop type is set to L, C, or Z).

To enter gage plate: Type in the ' gage number' followed by ' ga ' (example: ' 4ga ' is rewritten as ' 4GA ' when you Tab out of the field). Right-click tells you the stored thickness (based on industry standards), from which the weight of the gage plate is calculated. Allowable gages are any whole number from 3 to 38 .

Thickness precision: You can enter a plate " Material thickness " that is more precise than the " Dimension precision " that is set at Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Detailing > Drawing Presentaton . For example, if you enter ' 5/32 ' and the " Dimension precision " is ' 1/16 ', the thickness of the plate will be ' 5/32 '. The thickness you enter will be reflected in the " Description " and will propagate to the bill of material, reports, etc. The setup option to " Round flat plate values " does not affect this. Be aware that the Ruler measures to whatever the " Dimension precision " is set to, which means that the plate's measured thickness may not exactly match its actual thickness.

Horiz leg width : The distance (in the primary dimension " Units " or other units ) from the outside face of the vertical leg to the edge of the horizontal leg. (Only applicable when the Pour Stop type is set to L, C, or Z).
