Hello,
If i create a clip angle joint all settings are related to the secondbeam.
If i want to weld the angle to the main beam on the flanges i have to set an offset. This means that if the main beam changes in size, i manualy have to change these offset settings. It would be nice if Advance Steel will do this automaticly.
Also the vertical en horizontal setting of the bolts are related to the second beam and not to the main beam.
In a lot of joint you have the possibility to set it on "total " of "projection"
With projection , Advance steel is looking at the outside of the beam. In the clip angle joints this will also very nice.
The reason is of this wish is ,So customers can change a mainbeam into a bigger / smaller profile, and the connection is automaticaly changed correct.
And they do not have to change all offset setting manualy for the changed mainbeam.
In attachement you find example picture of connections and settings
regards
