Notes
- Any modification of the selected parts will cause this macro to be updated.
- To reduce unnecessary parts in the models/clarity the end brackets are not modelled.
- When three positions are selected, the middle must be to the bottom of an anti-sag member. A pair of diagonal ties will be positioned between the bolts, fitted under the anti-sag member and it will be shortened accordingly. The holes will normally be:
- The purlin / rail cleat bolt nearest the rafter / stanchion (or the inside bolt in the anti-sag / side rail support cleat) for the top of the tie
- A bolt at the anti-sag / side rail support position for the bottom of the tie
Selection order example
- Pick a snap point where the bolt or hole is
- Pick a snap point where the bolt or hole is
- Pick a snap point where the bolt or hole is (if required)
- Click middle mouse button
