for brace, and beam/truss.
This setting affects the distance between steel beams and beams/trusses, and between beams
and braces. Members must be joined to see the change in the cutback distance. Changes to this
setting are applied only to the symbolic representation of structural framing components.
Cutback distance at larger setting in coarse mode
Cutback distance at smaller setting in coarse mode
This setting affects the gap between symbolic representations of joined columns in an elevation
view. The gap is visible only if the Top Connection Symbol instance property of the bottom
column is set to a value other than None.
Plan Representation options
Parallel Line:
Symbolic representation of braces in a plan view are displayed with a line parallel to and
offset from the brace at the value specified in the Structural Settings dialog. The line displays
below, or to the right to vertical brace centerline if the brace is below the level and above,
or to the left to vertical brace centerline if the brace is above the level.
NOTE The parallel line brace symbol displays in a symbolic plan view only when the structural
usage of the brace is set to Vertical Bracing.
Line with Angle:
Symbolic representation of braces in a plan view are displayed with an angled line. Line with
angle originates from the point of intersection of a brace and level if they intersect, and from
the closest point to the level on the brace otherwise. The symbol goes upward (downward)
for the portion of the brace which is above (below) the level.
