Geometry
Use the options on this tab to define the basic information on the geometry of a bay.
If you activate the Symmetry option, only part of the option is available (on the left-hand
side of the symmetry axis); the right-hand side of the structure will be a mirror of the
defined geometry of the left-hand side.
Select the More... option in the selection list of profiles or supports to open the additional dialog
where you can add another profile from the selected profile database to the list of the available
profiles or you can define the structure support by creating a new support.
Truss
Use the options on this tab to define the basic information on the geometry of the roof truss.
Data to define geometry of a roof truss for a selected bay:
1. if you select the icon, the roof will be modeled by beams, not by truss
2. if you select one of icons representing truss, the roof structure will be a truss of the
selected geometry
3. number of fields on the left and right side of the truss symmetry axis
4. truss dimensions
5. profile: bottom and top chords, profiles of studs and diagonals.
Select the More... option in the selection list of profiles to open an additional dialog where you
can add another profile from the selected profile database to the list of the available profiles.
