Offset value parameters reposition beam and brace geometry to a distance from its location line.
Positive offsets reposition geometry to the right; negative offsets reposition geometry to the left. This repositioning is dependent on how the element was drawn. The following beam was drawn from the top (start point) to bottom (end point).
Positive y Offset Value | Negative z Offset Value |
---|---|
The direction of geometry repositioning depends on the Justification parameter. For positive z Offset Values the section is always moved up or down in relation to the location line. See the examples below for more information.
The physical model of the beam is moved in reference to its location line.
The blue dot in the following examples represents the location line in an elevation view of the beam as viewed from start to end point.
Negative Value | Zero | Positive Value |
