METL-CON Standard Horizontal Cladding Support (31) : Parameters Tab

Option	Description	Default	Example
G Rails Positions	Combined with setting for Horizontal Channel positions this defines the location of the G140/150 struts. single number here would divide the bay into equal sizes e.g. "1" would put one G140/150 strut in the centre. Space separated values indicate position to place G140/150 e.g. "1 3" in this field and "2 4" in the Horizontal Channel Positions field would put a 4 struts at 1/5th positions in the bay, with a G140/150 at first and third positions and L145070 at second and fourth positions.	One G140/150 at the middle of the bay.	Using value - 1 3 for G Rail Position and 2 4 for Horizontal Channel Positions. G140/150 grey. L145070 yelow. Image
Horizontal Channel Positions	See above	None
G Rail Guage	Option of 1.5mm or 2.0mm thickness for G140/150 sections.	1.5mm
Channel Guage	Option of 1.5mm or 2.0mm thickness for L145070 sections.	1.5mm
Use diagonal wires to column at	Defines which, if any, of the outside most struts are connected by diagonal ties. The field can be empty for no ties, have a single value for the rail pair or a list of space separated values for the rail pairs. e.g. a value of 1 2 would put diagonal ties between the first strut and the sleeve connection (must be joint 120) and the last strut and the end sleeve connection, between the first two rails and the second two rails.		Using value - 1 2 Image
Use diagonal wires to mid strut(s) at	If there are 3 struts in the bay this field defines if there are diagonal ties between struts between a pair of rails. The field takes a space separated list to define where to place diagonal ties. "1 3" would place ties between top of first strut and bottom of middle strut and between the top of the third strut and the bottom of the middle strut between the first and the second rails and the third and fourth rails.		Using value - 1 3 Image
Tie Type	Defines the diagonal tie type, options are Tie wire (DBV) or TRHD (Uses a TRHDV to identify as being used with horizontal cladding)	Tie wire (DBV)
Tie Finish	Defines Finish applied to TRHDV ties. Options are Default, Black, Glavanised and Powder Coated. Default will	Black if TRHDV. No special finish is applied if DVB
Face Strut to the...	Defines the direction to face all struts in the bay when looking from the sheeting face towards the columns. Options are Left or Right.
Top Cleat Bolt Grade	Defines the bolt grade to use for the cleat attached to the top rail in the bay. If Countersunk bolt grade then packer plates are added.	The default Bolt Standard is defined on the Tools > Options > Options... > Components tab. Unless overriden by general Bolt grade setting.
General Bolt Grade	Defines the bolt grade to use for the cleats between intermediate rails in the bay. User for top or bottom cleats if not set using specific setting.	The default Bolt Standard is defined on the Tools > Options > Options... > Components tab.
Bottom Cleat Bolt Grade	Defines the bolt grade to use for the cleat attached to the bottom rail in the bay. If Countersunk bolt grade then packer plates are added.	The default Bolt Standard is defined on the Tools > Options > Options... > Components tab. Unless overriden by general Bolt grade setting.
Class	Defines the class for the objects created by the macro	99
