" Cap Plate " connection design locks

" Cap Plate " locks are available on the Vertical Brace Review window when the " Input connection type " for a column is ' Auto base/cap plate ' and a vertical brace frames to that column and its base or cap plate. The column end with the auto base/cap plate must frame to a beam. The column " Section size " must be a wide flange, S shape or welded plate wide flange. The web of the column must be parallel with the beam. The vertical brace can be any designable section size.

(vertical brace to a beam & W, WPS or S column) (" Input connection type " = ' Auto base/cap plate ')
" Cap Plate " (auto base/cap plate controlled by brace)	(shop weld, gusset to column plate)
	These locks control a bolt group for an auto base/cap plate on a column with flanges. The locks are not, for example, available for a vertical brace to an HSS column because such a column does not have flanges. The web of the column must be parallel with the beam.
