Creating a Clip Angle

Clip Angle lets you create a clip angle to connect a catalog beam to a catalog column, or a catalog beam to another catalog beam, or a steel detailing plate to a member.

  1. Select a face of the host member, and then select a face of the second member or plate.

    The intersection of these faces defines a curve along which the clip angle is positioned.

  2. In the Clip Angle dialog box, select the shape of the clip angle.
  3. Align the clip angle.
