| Option | Description | Default | Other |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 BW arrangement for the bay length. | |
| General Bolt Grade | This sets the standard for all bolts added by the macro. | The default setting is 8.8XOX. | |
| 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 8.8XOX. | |
| Eaves Bolt Standard | This sets the bolt standard for the bolts to the web of the eaves beam if a stiffener is used. | The default setting is 8.8XOX. | |
| 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 8.8XOX. | |
| 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. | Image
|
| Eaves Brace stiffener (No, Yes) | This is a simple field to indicate if the stiffener should be defined or not. | The default is set to No. | |
