About Braces

Braces attach themselves to beams and columns and adjust parametrically to changes in the building design.

You can add braces in either a plan view or a framing elevation view.

When attached to a beam, you can specify the type of attachment, distance, or ratio. In addition, you can set which end of the referenced element you want relative to the distance or ratio value; if the end is attached to a column or wall, you can set the level and offset for the height of the point.

You can copy, move, mirror, array, and rotate braces out of the vertical plane in which they were created. You can accomplish this in plan and 3D views.
