Follow the next steps to create K Top cross-frames.
| 1 | Pick 2 Girders that the cross frame will be placed between. | -20221006-163014.png?version=1&modificationDate=1667575685928&cacheVersion=1&api=v2)  |
| 2 | Enter the Station of the cross frame. |  |
| 3 | Go to Sections tab. |  -20221006-163611.png?version=1&modificationDate=1667575685388&cacheVersion=1&api=v2) |
| 4 | Import AISCL8X8X3/4 and assign it to Top & Bottom & Diagonal Chord Sections. | |
| 5 | Go to Gusset Plate tab, select top, bottom and center gusset plate and edit the gusset plate offset values for top, bottom and diagonal plates. |  |
| 6 | Go to Stiffener tab. |  |
| 7 | Edit the vertical stiffener thickness as 1 and vertical stiffener width as 7 in. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | Go to Geometry tab. |  |
| 10 | Edit the offset values for top chord, diagonals, and bottom chord. | |
| 11 | Skew Angle parameter rotates the the unskewed line which is perpendicular the PGL. -20221025-145618.png?version=1&modificationDate=1667575683468&cacheVersion=1&api=v2)

Follow the next steps to use parameters at the FEA Section, and understand the parametric relationship.
Go to Parameters tab at the FEA section. | -20221022-141639.png?version=1&modificationDate=1667575684471&cacheVersion=1&api=v2)
|
|---|---|
Enter Parameter Name and set Parameter Value. | |
Go back to Cross-frame X tab. | -20221022-142002.png?version=1&modificationDate=1667575684332&cacheVersion=1&api=v2)
|
For the first row set Station parameter as ‘=Spacing*1’. | |
For the second row set Station parameter as ‘=Spacing*2’. | -20221022-142124.png?version=1&modificationDate=1667575684199&cacheVersion=1&api=v2)
|
Select both of them. | 
|
Drag down to automatically increase the multiplier of the spacing. | -20221022-142320.png?version=1&modificationDate=1667575683893&cacheVersion=1&api=v2)

Station parameter of the cross frames are now function of Spacing parameter. | 
|
Follow the below steps to copy and paste all inputs from our data set.
| 1 | Go to Cross-frame K Top under Cross Frames on the tree view. |
| 2 | Copy Location, Sections, Gusset Plate, Stiffener, Geometry from model inputs and paste into OpenBrIM. |
Completed cross frames is illustrated below.
Copy the desired data with the automatic copy button in the upper left corner. Click on the first cell in and use the Ctrl+V shortcut to paste.  
If icon won’t appear, collapse page tree menu by clicking on arrow or using shortcut “[”.  While pasting large data, it would be handy to turn of Auto-refresh .
