Variant Brackets

Even brackets which do not fulfill the conditions for a standard bracket as described above may occur in a great number of identical copies.

You can use Hull Modelling to handle them in a similar way as pure standard brackets. The user assigns such a bracket a certain variant number and it is his responsibility to check that all brackets with the same variant number and the same arm lengths really are identical (two brackets with different center angles may get the same designation, see Bracket Designation). A variant bracket is separately stored only if the user demands this explicitly.

The handling of variant brackets is currently not activated for customer defined brackets.
