SagRodTool ( Modeling )
Tool summary :
- Adds SagRods to the model as anchor rods through column base plate holes.
- The user can select multiple column members, material, or holes. If columns are
selected, the script looks for "Anchor Rod Hole"(s) in 'ColBasePlate' material
at model member object End 0. - All members are added using general hole object attributes 'Point1', 'Point2',
'BoltDiameter' and 'HoleType'. - hl.Point1 is on top of 'ColBasePlate' material and hl.Point2 is on the bottom.
Bolt diameter is set from hole attribute 'BoltDiameter'. SagRod members are
only added through holes of type 'Anchor Bolt Hole'. - A SagRod can be added to any hole of type 'Anchor Bolt Hole'. The tool adds
the member parallel to vector hl.Point2->hl.Point1. There is an option to
reverse the direction by check box in the dialog. - To begin adding SagRod Tool custom member(s), you can click the SagRod Tool icon. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Model -- Parametric -- BVD ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).
