PropertyDescription

SBI_BM.jpg
The Gauge Line dimensions of the profiles are read automatically from the GaugeLines.dat file (in the model, firm or system folder).
These can be over written by the user if necessary.

SBI_Fact.jpg
Option to specify a set dimension to the end of the brace, or select a factor. (user input number*hole diameter)
Switch BMOption to switch the face from which the gauge line is shown. (dummy arrows in the model will show the face).
Normally this is from the back of the L profile but in some cases it may be shown from the leg instead, the user can use this option to over ride the Tekla default.
