Notes
- Any modification of the selected parts will cause this macro to be updated.
- Most of the data required for this macro is fixed by Metsec and stored in a series of data files supplied with Tekla Structures. Where standard data is not applicable, then certain items can be modified through the Parameters tab of the properties panel, but it is also possible to tailor the data files to individual requirements. This would require assistance from Tekla Structures support.
- Only one eaves beam may be selected for inclusion.
- All rails in the bay must share the same sheeting face.
- All rail lengths must be parallel.
- Eaves beam must be parallel to rails and above the last rail.
- Rails can be either C’s or Z’s or a mixture.
