Hello
If i create a "apex haunch” connection, i want to have the possibility to choose the angles between the two beams. If the beams are a different or the same size the angles must be variable to fill in. In the attachment you see a picture. In this picture you see an Alpha and Beta angle. These angles i want to be adjustable. In the second attachment you find a dwg what the result can be.
In this example there is a column and rafter. But it also has to function with two rafters.
Now the apex haunch connection works if you have beams with the same dimension. However there is not the possibility to change the miter angle.
If the beams have different dimensions it does not work if one beam is a column and one beam a rafter.
My wish is that there will be a new connection where you can fill in the angle of the miter. Also the "general" tab in this connection must be the same as the apex haunch connection. And the "special" tab needs only the galvanizing holes.
Also it would be great if you have the possibility to create just one plate which is welded to the beams and the haunches.
Or adjust the existing apex haunch connection where you have the possibility to fill in the miter angles.
The profiles that can be used for this connection are any profile off course.
