Specifies how the profile is offset from and trimmed by the plate system when the profile crosses design seams with leaf plates of varying thickness, and the profile is on the thickened sides of the plates. The list is defined by the StiffenerOffsetMethod codelist.

Position on thinnest plate indicates that each profile part of the parent profile system is mounted to the thinnest plate part that the profile part crosses. The profile part is then trimmed to any thicker plate it crosses.

Position on thickest plate indicates that each profile part of the parent profile system is mounted to the thickest plate part that the profile part crosses. No trimming occurs.

Offset and trim indicates that each profile part of the parent profile system is mounted at the specified Offset Value from the molded surface of the plate system. Profile part position is not adjusted based on plate part thickness. Each profile part is trimmed by any plate part thicker than the offset distance.

Offset with no trim indicates that each profile part of the parent profile system is mounted at the specified Offset Value from the molded surface of the plate system. Profile part position is not adjusted based on plate part thickness. Profile parts are not trimmed by any plate part thicker than the offset distance.

This option is useful when the gap from successively thicker plates can be filled by welding:
