Offset

Define the offset of the added part from the main part. You can set the offset also for openings.

By default, the added parts or cuts are created between the end points of the concrete part.

Coordinate system

On the Part 1 tab, select Use global xy-plane to place the corbels on the global XY plane or Use local to place the corbels on the local XY plane of the part.

Note that setting the coordinate system on the Part 1 tab also affects the corbels that are created on the Part 2 - 4 tabs.

Create diamond corbel around column

Select whether a diamond corbel is created around the column.

If you create the corbel, you cannot enter any values on the Part 2, Part 3 or Part 4 tabs.

Chamfers

You can chamfer the added parts. You can define the chamfers either as angles or as dimensions.

Positioning of the parts

Option Description

Select the side where the added parts or cuts are created.

Select the alignment of the added parts or cuts.

You can swap the end points of the added parts or cuts.

Select whether the existing cuts should be taken into account when the added parts are created.

Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 tab

You can add or cut more than one part at the same time. To do this, use the tabs Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4.

Configuration tab

Use the Configuration tab to define the distance in material and whether information needs to be printed.
