Leg - 1 diagonal (178)

Leg - 1 diagonal (178) bolts one diagonal L profile brace directly to the outside or inside face of an L profile tower leg.

Objects created

Bolts

Note that this component does not create any bolts by default. You must define the bolts that are created.


Situation	Description
	Diagonal brace connected to a tower leg

Select the tower leg.
Select the diagonal brace (secondary part).

The connection is created automatically when the secondary part is selected.

Use the Picture tab to define the brace cut dimensions.


	Description
1	Horizontal cut dimension
2	Vertical cut dimension

Use the Parameters tab to define the bolt gage lines that define the positions of bolts.


	Description
1	Bolt edge distance
2	Distance between the bolts

Use the Bolts tab to define the bolt offsets and bolt properties.

Define the bolt creation and bolt offsets.


Option	Description	Default
Bolt size	Bolt diameter.	Available sizes are defined in the bolt assembly catalog.
Bolt standard	Bolt standard to be used inside the component.	Available standards are defined in the bolt assembly catalog.
Tolerance	Gap between the bolt and the hole.
Thread in mat	Defines whether the thread may be within the bolted parts when bolts are used with a shaft. This has no effect when full-threaded bolts are used.	`Yes`
Site/Workshop	Location where the bolts should be attached.	`Site`

You can define slotted, oversized, or tapped holes.


Option	Description	Default
1	Vertical dimension of slotted hole.	`0`, which results in a round hole.
2	Horizontal dimension of slotted hole, or allowance for oversized holes.	`0`, which results in a round hole.
Hole type	Slotted creates slotted holes. Oversized creates oversized holes. No hole does not create holes. Tapped creates tapped holes.
Rotate Slots	When the hole type is Slotted, this option rotates the slotted holes.
Slots in	Part(s) in which slotted holes are created. The options depend on the component in question.

The selected check boxes define which component objects (bolt, washers, and nuts) are used in the bolt assembly.

If you want to create a hole only, clear all the check boxes.

To modify the bolt assembly in an existing component, select the Effect in modify check box and click Modify.

Define how much the bolt length is increased. Use this option when, for example, painting requires the bolt length to be increased.
