Modify the End Overlaps - Horizontal Bar

The vertical bar ends must be modified to ensure that the miter plane is positioned correctly when the framework is built.

In this case, the offset value is not the same as the horizontal bar because the NA p-line is being used as the justification line. This means that the offset distance is measured from the NA p-line to the outside leg of the vertical bar and the length of the vertical bars must be reduced by this amount during the framework build. In the example, the distance between the NA p-line end to the outside face of the bar is 50.7mm.

The example displays the settings:.

:MDSOlap OVERLAP

:MDSOnum -50.7

The modifications ensure that a mitered framework is built when the selected standard is created.

Note:
The layout of the template members may not look the same as the built support. The example displays template members when modifications are made.

The template administrator can manually modify bar lengths in the template to display a representative view of the template as it is built in the model.

The example displays a template that has been modified to look more like the framework as it is generated in the Supports application. The bar lengths have been manually altered to show the appropriate miter.

Note: Manual adjustments do not have any impact on the way the framework is built in the model.
