Angle Limit for Splitting Beam Axes
Angle Limit for Splitting Beam Axes
Allows user to set the angle limit at which connected beam axes with different orientation will be split (else combined)
Only beams axes exceeding the set angle will be split to separate design & detailing axes.
This setting is under ‘Settings > Beam > Angle Limit for Splitting Beam Axes'
In the below example, there are 3 beam axes with 0, 45 & 70 degrees respectively
When the angle is set to 30 degrees (default), only 1B1-1B2-1B3 will be combined into single beam design axis while the rest will be split to separate axes (as below)
When the angle is set to 50 degrees, only 1B1-1B2-1B3 & 1B4-1B5-1B6 will be combined into single beam design axis while the rest will be split to separate axes (as below)
