Cross Frame Gusset Plate Sections database is created solely for this purpose. One important thing here is that sections are previously defined for five categories, and although the shapes can be manipulated, choosing the correct category is vital in order for gusset plates to be generated at the intended locations.

When positioning the gusset plates at the Top Left, Bottom Left, and Center points, it should be remembered that the reference point is ‘(0,0)’. The bolt arrangement and bolt offsets will be determined based on this reference (0,0) point . Additionally, the offset inputs of the gusset plate in the cross frame (vertical and horizontal) will also be determined according to this reference (0,0) point. When defining a custom shape, attention should be paid to the reference point. |
Thickness: This parameter specifies the thickness of the gusset plate.
...
Bolt Group Rotation From Reference Point: To rotate the bolts ' center axis in the vertical directionfrom the central axis with respect to the reference point, this parameter can be used, where a negative value will rotate the bolts in a clockwise direction when looking upstation along the PGL.

Display Settings
Show Bolts [YES/NO]: If this parameter is set to 'NO,' the bolts will not be displayed. Otherwise, the bolts will be shown within the model.However, enabling this option increases the triangulation number, leading to slower performance. To reduce compile time, disabling the detailing option can be helpful.
Gusset plates defined in this section will be further used in the gusset plate definitions of the Cross Frames.
