TYPE: CONNECTIONS

**Looking for Offset Beams (Bolted) or Offset Beams (Welded)? Those 2 custom components have been merged, updated and given a new name; Offset Beams-Right.

These custom components can be used to connect 2 secondary members that are perpendicular to the primary member but do not have the same work points (the work points are offset horizontally in the x or y direction) using bolted or welded clip angles.

Picking order;
1.  Primary Beam
2.  Either secondary beam, and then the
3.  Other secondary beam

These custom components create 4 angles (2 for each secondary) that can be bolted or welded to the secondary beams. Fields are available to control: the secondary beam setbacks and notches, bolt properties and locations, angles properties and locations, and the welds between angles and secondaries (if Welded option is on).

Starting in v2017, the above Custom Components are available in all US Environment Model Templates
