Mitred Frameworks

Mitred templates can be created using a combination of appropriate overlap overrides and bar end plane manipulation.

The following example describes the modification of an FT09 template standard to include miterd internal faces.

The example displays a horizontal bar and two vertical legs of a profile sized 70mm x 70mm x 6mm. The bar and vertical legs have been extended so that each end is flush with the steelwork adjacent to it. The horizontal bar justification p-line is CBOT and the vertical bars are justified to the NA p-line.

To miter the framework, two steps are required:

1. Modify the end plane direction of each bar so that the miter angle is established.

2. Modify the overlap distance by an override value so that the bar overlaps cut the steelwork back to the required contact point on the steelwork p-line.
