To add a "ea$ to colu$n flange connection#

oo$ in on the intersection on grid I: level :

Select the appropriate connection icon

Select the colu$n and then the "ea$

Revie! the dialog ta" " ta" (e-cept Ri" details)

7ake endplate :F$$ (B1?G) thick, !ith 6B$$ (:G) edge increase, untick all

Cop the "ea$ connection to all relevant "ea$s and colu$ns using the Cop

connection $ethod fro$ "efore (NI this connection onl applies to those "ea$s running

left to right AND ou $ust re$e$"er to select the colu$ns)

This operation results in $an $ore asse$"lies "eing for$ed (refer to the 2"4ect

%nspector)

These connection fa$ilies can "e stored in data files to later use too

To add a "ea$ to colu$n !e" connection#
