Property	Description
Image	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.
Image	Option to specify a set dimension to the end of the brace, or select a factor. (user input number*hole diameter)
Image	Option 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.
Image	Option to turn off leg cut Image

Image

Image	Option to create a cut on the inside brace to avoid clashing with another brace. Options to specify cut dimensions.
Image	Option to specify a distance from the leg root radius that the brace will be cut.
