CATALOG NAME: Reducing Studs
TYPE: DETAIL
This Custom Component adds Reducing Studs to the top flange of a beam or can be used to add reducing studs to columns. In order to get reducing studs on both the near and far side flanges, you need to add this custom component twice and adjust the Up Direction on the General tab of one of them so the component cone points in the opposite direction.
This component also works to the web. Just adjust the Up Direction on the General tab until the studs are located on the desired web.
There are three stud spacing options for controlling the spacing of the studs.
Stud Spacing Option 1 (Number of Studs) will space the studs equally. The start and end distances are equal and taken from the entered value. The resulting distance is used with the entered number of studs to calculate the equal spacing.
Use this Stud Spacing option when you need staggered studs. Add the component once using a position offset and another time using a negative offset. Then modify the start distance value accordingly.
Stud Spacing Option 3 (Linear) will space the studs as you define. The start distance, number of studs, and spacing distance is taken from the entered values.
This component creates the reducing studs as parts not bolts. The benefits of using parts is that they can be numbered, named, etc. like any other part.
This custom component uses the Array component to add the additional studs down the member. After you apply this component to a beam (or column), any changes to the Pos_No, Material, Name, Finish, or Class fields will only be applied to the 'source' studs when the Modify button is clicked.
In order for all the stud parts to inherit the same values for these fields, you'll need to make sure that you change the stud quantity or stud spacing (to a different value and back again if necessary) after you make any changes to the Pos_No, Material, Name, Finish, or Class fields.

Stud Spacing Option 2 (Exact Spacing) will space the studs exactly as desired and the start and end distances will be calculated to be both equal and between the minimum entered distance and the exact spacing.

Stud Spacing Option 3 (Linear) will space the studs as you define. The start distance, number of studs, and spacing distance is taken from the entered values.
