| Option | Description | Default | Other | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Restraint Type (SideRail, HCSS) |
This specifies the type of support to be used for the arrangement. | The default is set to SideRail. | |||||
| Number of main Restraints | This sets the number of side rail supports that are placed between each pair of rails in the bay. | The default number of divisions will be determined appropriately from the data files to give the standard Albion arrangement for the bay length. | |||||
| Invert Outside Cleats (Default, No) |
This specifies whether the outside cleats which connect to the penultimate rail at the bottom of the bay should be inverted or not. The Default option changes the facings of these cleats. If there is an even number of struts the central two struts will remain unaffected. If there is an odd number of struts only the middle strut will be left unchanged (see images). The No option leaves the cleat positions to the penultimate rail untouched, giving standard side rail supports. | The default is set to Default. |
|
||||
| General Bolt Grade | This sets the standard for all bolts added by the macro. | The default setting is 4.6XOX. | |||||
| Top Cleat Bolt Grade | This sets the bolt standard for the strut connecting to the last rail. If left empty the general bolt grade will be used. | The default setting is 4.6XOX. | |||||
| Bottom Cleat Bolt Grade | This sets the bolt standard for the strut connecting to the first rail. If left empty the general bolt grade will be used. | The default setting is 4.6XOX. | |||||
| Group | This sets the class that all parts will be included in. | The default setting is 99. | |||||
| Place Diagonal Tie Wire at | This sets the position in the arrangement where diagonal tie wires will be added. This is writen as a list of bay numbers for example, 1 3 would put diagonal tie wires in the first and third bay (see image). | The default behaviour is to not place any tie wires. |

||||
| HCSS Profile | This sets the Tekla Structures HCSS profile to be created by the macro. This can be any Albion C section (full Tekla Structures profile should be entered, for example ALB-C20625). | The default is currently ALB-C12616, however this profile has now been discontinued so you have to enter a valid profile for this to work. | |||||
| Wire Hole Offset End 1 | This offsets the position of the start of the tie wire bolt, from the standard location along the member length by the entered distance. | The default setting is 0. | |||||
| Wire Hole Offset End 2 | This offsets the position of the end of the tie wire bolt, from the standard location along the member length by the entered distance. | The default setting is 0. |
