User Defined Connections: Settings that are locked (
) in the user defined connection file will automatically be locked on the member edit window. You can, if you so choose, manually lock additional settings on the member edit window, and your changes will be retained, through multiple processes, so long as you do not change to a different connection then switch back to the original user defined connection.
Joist Edit: To change a setting, first set it to locked (

Joist Shoe Slots
Slots in a joist bearing shoe
Slot diameter ( diameter ): The diameter of the slotted holes in the joist shoe. See the example . The default " Slot diameter " is the " Shoe slot diameter " entered to the Joist Connection Settings window in Standard Fabricator Connections .
End connection failure message: Joist bearing shoe diameter is too small to accomodate bolts to support .
Slot length ( length ): The length of the slotted holes in the joist shoe. See the example . The default " Slot length " is the " Bearing shoe slot length " entered to the Joist Connection Settings window in Standard Fabricator Connections .
End connection failure message: Joist bearing shoe length is not sufficient to accomodate bolts to support .
End connection failure message: Joist bearing shoe bolt edge distance less than minimum slot edge distanceSlot edge distance (NS): The distance from the framing edge of the shoe to the slot. NS stands for near side. See the example . This dimension is measured parallel with the joist and applies to the near side slot only. The near side of a joist is the side facing you when the brace's left end is to your left. The default " Slot edge distance " is the " Bearing shoe slot edge distance " entered to the Joist Connection Settings window in Standard Fabricator Connections .
End connection failure message: Joist bearing shoe slot edge distance less than setup minimum .
End connection failure message: Joist bearing shoe bolt edge distance less than minimum slot edge distance
Setup: Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Standard Fabricator Connections > Joist Connection Settings > " Bearing shoe slot edge distance "Slot edge distance (FS) ( edge distance ): Same as " Slot edge distance (NS) ," except that this applies to the far side slot. See the example .

Bolts

Bolts in a joist bearing shoe
Bolt diameter ( not depicted ): The bolt diameter. You can either type in any diameter (inches or mm), or you can select a bolt diameter from the combo box (
). The diameters that are listed in the combo box come from Home > Project Settings > Job > Bolt Settings > the " Available bolts " list. The bolt diameter entered here, together with the hole type set the diameter of holes in the plate seat (for a seated joist connection) or the beam flange (for a bearing connection). The beam flange hole type is always a standard round hole. The plate seat hole type is, by default, the choice made to " Standard hole type " for " Seated connections " in Joist Connection Settings ( Standard Fabricator Connections ).
End connection failure message: Joist bearing shoe diameter is too small to accomodate bolts to support .
Distance to holes ( to holes ): The distance from the work point of the joist (its left- or right-end input point) to the center of the holes in the support. The support may be the seat (for a seated joist connection) or the beam's top flange (for a joist bearing connection).
End connection failure message: Joist bearing shoe bolt edge distance less than minimum slot edge distance
Gage ( gage ): The distance (center to center) between the two holes in the support. The support may be the seat (for a seated joist connection) or the beam's top flange (for a joist bearing connection).
