The gusset plate (" Gusset 2 Point ") shop attaches to the column per " Weld Conn2 " or, when applicable, " NS/FS Clip Conn2 " locks. The shared gusset may be for 2-point bracing (shown) or 3-point bracing (not shown).

(web-horizontal W vertical braces, claw angles field bolted to shared gusset, to a column)
(3-point bracing gussets must weld directly to the column)
(vertical brace " Section size " = wide flange, S shape or welded plate wide flange)
