Note

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.
