Beams can be cut against one another to miter and bracing members can be adjusted to other beams at web and at flange.
The feature is based on rules, so the properties can be modified through the connection object. To modify the properties, display the connection object.
Variants for this rule include:
In a miter cut the intersection is created vertically or at the bisecting line. Each of the two beams gets a processing object at their end. The sections insertion axes must lie in the same plane. For sections that intersect the longer parts are cut to miter.
Beams are adjusted to another beam flange. You can enter a distance that the diagonal cut must keep to the intersecting plane. You have the option to weld the beams.
Beams are adjusted to another beam web. You can enter a distance that the diagonal cut must keep to the intersecting plane. You have the option to weld the beams.
The three connection types are available in the Type field of the Properties tab.
You can quickly access the Miter cut and the Saw cut by clicking on two different icons on the Features tool palette.
