  1. Click the Shapes drop-down on the Model panel, and then click Tapered/Haunch Tapered Haunch.

  2. Click Wide Flange or Circular in Section Type.

  3. Select Tapered or Haunch.

  4. Select a Section Data Table.

  5. Select a Member Size.

    The software populates the dimensional properties.

  6. To edit the dimensional properties, select Member Size, and then click Custom.

  7. Check or clear the Calculate Weight check box.

    If you cleared the Calculate Weight check box, then type the Weight.

  8. Select a Material.

  9. Type an Angle.

  10. Select a Cardinal Point.

  11. Check or clear the Reflect check box.

  12. Select a Group and a Layer.

    The software automatically populates Layer when you select Group. You can overwrite this value as needed.

  13. Click the Details tab.

  14. If needed, edit the Long Description and Short Description. For more information, see Tapered/Haunch.

  15. If required, type a Part Number and a Tag.

  16. Select Secondary Framing from the Place By list.

  17. Click Insert.

  18. Click pairs of parallel members in the model space, and then press ENTER.

    • You can select members in parallel pairs or that are perpendicular to one another.

    • The red circles indicate selected objects.

      The Secondary Framing dialog box displays.

  19. In Secondary Framing, Pair 1 displays as the active pair. If you selected only two members, only Pair 1 displays. If you selected four or more members, you can select additional pairs in the Secondary Framing list.

  20. Type in the Distance from Origin, and then click Add New Point.

    This adds the coordinate from the end of the beam to place the secondary framing member.

  21. Type in the next Distance from Origin, and then click Add New Point. This adds the second coordinate from the end of the beam.

    The Distance from Origin for the second beam and any subsequent beams must be more than the distance for the first beam. The software always takes the distance from the cardinal point of the first beam you selected when you ran Secondary Framing. For example, if you type a Distance from Origin of 3' for your first beam, then you must enter 4' or more for your second beam. If you are less than 4', your beam overlaps the previously inserted beam.

  22. Continue to type the Distance from Origin for each secondary beam you need in the 3D model.

    You must know the distance between the two parallel beams, because the software does not extend beams beyond the second beam you selected.

  23. When you finish adding coordinates, click Done.
