If selected,

it adds R purlin to the

Spaced first element/Spaced last element

Image Modified

Since the first and last

R purlins

steel joist usually coincide on the element, they are options that can be used to eliminate this situation. If

checked, R purlins from

marked, steel joists found at the beginning and ending are not drawn.

Mid-oriented first element/Mid-oriented last element

Image Added

When placing the first and last elements, alignment is made according to the midpoint of the element. When the Spaced first element/Spaced last element options are activated, these options become inactive.

Over the top

Image Modified

It enables the main elements, on which the

R purlins

steel joists are modeled, to be modeled to sit on the upper head.

Top oriented

Image Modified

It ensures that the upper head of the

R purlin

steel joist is aligned with the upper head of the main steel elements.

Middle oriented

Image Modified

It ensures that the middle point of the

R purlins

steel joists and the middle of the main steel elements are aligned.

Vertical displacement (delta)

Image Modified

The distance entered in the box allows modeling of the

R purlin

steel joist under the main steel element top head.

Connection type

Image Modified

Select from the drop-down list for automatically generated slip connection between main steel element and

purlins

steel joists.

Extensions

Image Modified

It determines how long the

R purlins

steel joists will be extended from the main elements.

Inner distance
