|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Secondary member cut back | This determines the position to which the end of the secondary members are fitted. If connecting to the column web it is measured from the nearest web of the column. If connecting to the column flange face, it is measured from the nearest flange face. | The default will give a minimum clearance of 10mm from the primary which will be rounded to give a whole value. | Image

| Angle Cleat Length | This sets the the length of the cleat. | This value will come from the data files. | Image
| ||||
| Cleat Offset | This specifies the position of the cleat for the bolted connection relative to the centre line of the rail. Entering a positive number in the cleat offset field will move the cleat towards the top flange of the rail. A negative number moves it towards the bottom flange. | The default setting is Empty. | |||||
| Place Cleats on (Above, below) | This specifies the positions where cleats are to be applied. The position is determined relative to the secondary that is picked, looking along the secondary and into the joint. | The default is set to Above. |
