GradeThis is the material grade that will be used for all the parts in this macro.The default setting is S390. 
Part Pos PrefixThis specifies the prefix for the Part Pos Num that will be used for the ties.The default setting is MB. 
Part Pos Start NumberThis specifies the start number for the Part Pos Num that will be used for the ties.The default setting is 1. 
Assembly PrefixThis specifies the prefix for the Assembly Pos Num that will be used for the ties.The default setting is CR. 
Assembly Start NumberThis specifies the start number for the Assembly Pos Num that will be used for the tiesThe default setting is 1. 
GroupThis sets the class that all parts will be included in.The default setting is 99. 
Purlin Cleat Rotation
(Left, Right)
This controls the direction of the cleat attached to the purlin. If this is set to Left then looking to the eaves beam from the purlin, the cleat will be orientated so that it faces to the left. The Right option similarly causes the cleat to face to the right.The default is set to Left.
