Flange cut options
| Description | |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Dimension for additional flange cut on the inner side from the end of the beam, if not fitted, or from the fitting surface, if fitted. If the dx distance and dy distance both have default values (empty), the connection determines whether the cut is necessary. Set the value to 0.00 if you do not want any further cut in the inner side flange. |
|
2 |
Dimension for additional flange cut on the outer side from the end of the beam, if not fitted, or from the fitting surface, if fitted. If the dx distance and dy distance both have default values (= empty), the connection does not create any further cut in the outer side flange. |
|
3 |
Dimension for additional flange cut distance (dx) on the inner side. The dimension is measured from the center line of the beam. If the dx distance and dy distance both have default values (= empty), the connection determines whether the cut is necessary. |
|
4 |
Dimension for additional flange cut distance (dx) on the outer side. The dimension is measured from the center line of the beam. |
|
