Modify End Overlaps - Horizontal Bar

When the end directions have been defined for the horizontal bar, the overlap values must be overwritten. When the FT09 standard is built, the ends of the bar are extended so that they are initially flush with the outside of each vertical bar. The bar must be offset at each end to move the miter plane from the built position to the required position.

The example displays the CBOT p-line as the plane origin at either end of the GENSEC. When the FT09 standard is built, the CBOT is initially extended to the outside face of each vertical bar. In order to move the miter plane into the correct position, an offset distance equal to the width of the vertical bar must be applied. In this case the vertical bar width is 70mm).

The offset override can be applied by setting attribute values on the horizontal bar. The overlap values are applied at both ends of the horizontal bar:

:MDSOlap OVERLAP

:MDSOnum -70

Note:
The OVERLAP keyword instructs the software to override the system overlap value.
