| Option | Description | Default | Other | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Is the Roof Sleeved (No, Yes) | This option is used to inform the macro whether the roof consists of a sleeved system or butt system. Using this information the macro will be able to extract the correct default data for the anti-sag arrangement. | The default is set to Yes. | |||||
| Type of Anti Sag (Default, Anti Sag Bars) | This specifies whether round loks or anti-sag bars should be used in the anti-sag arrangement. If set to Default it will apply round loks for purlin sections under 302 and anti-sag bars for 302 and 342 sections only. The Anti-Sag Bars option will use anti-sag bars in all cases. | The default is set to Default. | |||||
| Rule Type (Standard, Barrelled) | |||||||
| 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. | |||||
| Use Brace not RoundLok at | This sets the position in the arrangement where intermediate eaves braces will be added. | The default setting is empty. | |||||
| Eaves Brace stiffener (No, Yes) | This specifies whether a stiffener cleat should be added to the lower eaves brace at each support position. If a stiffener cleat needs to be included then this option should be set to Yes otherwise it will default to the No option. | The default is set to No. | |||||
| 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 cleat. 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 Beam Web Bolt Grade | 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 is to use the value from the General Bolt Grade setting. | |||||
| 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
| ||||
| Group | This defines the class that all parts will be included in. | The default setting is 99. |
