| Option | Description | Default | Other | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Direction of Spring Fixes (Top-> Bottom, Bottom-> Top, Default) | This defines how the spring fixes are fitted. For example, going up the roof top->bottom would cause them to be fitted between the top hole of the first purlin and the bottom hole of the second purlin. | The default direction will be determined appropriately from the roof pitch data to give the standard BW arrangement for the bay length. | |||||
| Type of Anti Sag (Apex Tie, Apex Angle Brace) | This specifies the type of connecting member to be used for the anti sag where the standard manufacturer's is not to be used. If Apex Tie is selected spring fixes will be used. | The default is set to Apex Tie. | |||||
| Number along the bay | This specifies the number of struts to place along the bay (as defined by the two rafters). | This value will come from the data files. | |||||
| Place Diagonal Tie Wire at | This sets the position 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). A brace must be placed in the bay that needs a tie wire. | The default behaviour is to not place any tie wires. | Image
| ||||
| Eaves Brace to Back (Default, No, Yes) | If the strut position interferes with the bolts then this control can be used to set the position of the strut relative to the cleatsrace. If set to Default option the strut is put to the inside of the cleats. | The default is set to No. |
| ||||
| General Bolt Grade | This sets the standard for all bolts added by the macro excluding those which may be placed to the web of the eaves beam. | The default setting is 8.8XOX. | |||||
| Eaves Bolt standard | This sets the standard for bolts placed to the web of the eaves beam. If this standard specifies countersunk bolts then a suitable packing plate will be added. | The default setting is 8.8XOX. | |||||
| 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. | |||||
| Group | This defines the class that all parts will be included in. | The default setting is 99. |
