Apply the Steel Profiles

Now specify the steel profiles for the support.

1. Select the seventh icon on the Support Creation toolbox. The Steel Profiles form is displayed.

   

2. The Support Name is shown at the top of the form. Set Support Steel Spec to British Support Steel.

3. From Profile Type, select Channel.

4. From Permissible Profiles select 76x38RSC profile.

5. From the Member option list, select All, and then click Apply. Click YES on the resulting Confirm message. The profile will be applied to all members.

   

6. Click the Check Clear button to check the clearances. If there is a problem, the Check End Clearances form will be displayed, showing the required and actual clearances. Clicking Apply will move the sections to the required clearances.

   Note: The clearance checking will only move the steelwork outwards. It may still appear to intersect the pipes until the support is built; see Build the Support.

7. When you have applied the profiles to the support, you can orientate each steel section if necessary. Select Ori and the Set Steel Orientation form will be displayed allowing you to orientate the steel sections.
