Used to define dimensions and spacings for inner gusset
and hole gussets.

Inner Gussets
|
- Inner
Gussets – When checked, creates plates normal to the base plate in
a direction parallel to the length of the base plate adjacent to the web of the
selected shape.
Note: Inner
gussets are typically used with Web Stiffeners.
- Number – Sets
the number of plates to be created on each side of the web. The default is 0.
- Length – Sets
the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the length of the base plate. A
positive value determines the length. A negative value is not permitted. A
value of 0 indicates no inner gussets are to be created. The default is 0.
- Thickness –
Sets the gusset plate thickness. A positive value determines the thickness. A
negative value of value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 8 or 0.25
depending on the units setting.
- Chamfer
Horiz. / Vert. – Sets the horizontal / vertical dimension for the
chamfer on the plate. A positive value determines the chamfer size. A negative
value is not permitted. A value of 0 for either Chamfer Horz. or Chamfer Vert.
indicates no chamfer is to be created. The default is 20 or 0.75 depending on
the units setting.
- Height – Sets
the plate dimension in a direction parallel to the normal of the base plate. A
positive value determines the height. A negative value or a value of 0 is not
permitted. The default is 100 or 4 depending on the units setting.
- Offset – Sets
the offset dimension between each of the inner gusset plates. A positive or
negative value to determines the spacing. A negative value is not permitted.
The default is 40 or 1.625 depending on the units setting.

Hole Gussets
|
- Hole
Gussets – When checked, creates plates normal to the base plate in
a direction:
- parallel to the length of the base plate
adjacent to the web of the selected shape.
- parallel to the width of the extra plate
centred around the hole in the extra plate.
Note: Enabled
only when Extra Plates in Extras tab is set (other than
None).
- Spacing – Sets
the distance between the inner faces of the hole gussets. The default is 40 or
1.625 depending on the units setting.
- Thickness –
Sets the gusset plate thickness. A positive value determines the thickness. A
negative value of value of 0 is not permitted. The default is 8 or 0.25
depending on the units setting.
- Chamfer
Horiz. / Vert. – Sets the horizontal / vertical dimension for the
chamfer on the plate. A positive value determines the chamfer size. A negative
value is not permitted. A value of 0 for either Chamfer Horz. or Chamfer Vert.
indicates no chamfer is to be created. The default is 10 or 0.375 depending on
the units setting.
