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.
Vertical Brace Edit: To change a setting, first set it to locked (

Brace Connection To Gusset Hss Welded
Bolt diameter ( not depicted ): 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 bolt diameters " list. The bolt diameter entered here, together with the " Hole type " entered below, set the diameter of holes for the " Erection bolts " that fix the HSS brace to the gusset.
Hole type ( not depicted ): Standard round or Short slot or Oversized or Long slot or User slot #1 or User slot #2 . This sets the hole type selected here, together with the " Bolt diameter " entered above, set the diameter of holes for the " Erection bolts " that fix the HSS brace to the gusset.
Distance to 1st hole along brace ( to 1st hole ): The positive distance (parallel with the work line of the vertical brace) from the work point to the center of the nearest erection bolt hole (see example )
Hole spacing along brace ( spacing ): Row spacing. This is the distance (center to center) between of any two adjacent holes along the brace (see example ). The hole spacing runs parallel with the work line of the vertical brace. This applies when ' Two ' has been selected as the number of " Erection bolts ."
End connection failure message: Invalid bolt spacing
Edge distance along brace ( edge dist ): The distance from the edge of the brace to the nearest hole. This distance is measured along the work line of the HSS vertical brace.
Other edge distance along brace ( other edge dist ): The distance from the connection edge of the gusset to the nearest hole. This distance is measured along the work line of the HSS vertical brace.
Field weld size ( weld ): The weld size for field welding the slot in the HSS brace to the near side and far side of the gusset. 3D field welds are shown in the model, but not on member details. The Connection Design Calculations (or Expanded Calculations ) report the weld size along with the effective length and effective weld size.
Field weld length ( weld ): The length of the field weld. If this setting is unlocked (
