Properties

Bottom

Gets the bottom end of the column. The bottom end is defined as follows:

  • The end with the lowest Z coordinate value
  • If that matches, then the lowest X coordinate
  • If those match, then the lowest Y coordinate

Unless the column has its ends set to swapped, then it's the reverse of that.

Declaration
public MemberEndBrief Bottom { get; }
Property Value
Type Description
MemberEndBrief

IsBreakApart

Used to determine if connection material not welded to the member main material will be broken apart from the member

Declaration
public bool IsBreakApart { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

true = process and create soilds will break apart member false = process and create solids will combine member material

IsDoubleMaterial

Determines if the column's material is doubled.

Declaration
public bool IsDoubleMaterial { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
System.Boolean

Rotation

Rotation about the workline in radians.

Declaration
public double Rotation { get; set; }
Property Value

System.Double

Top

Gets the top end of the column. The top end is defined as follows:

  • The end with the highest Z coordinate value
  • If that matches, then the highest X coordinate

UseErectionPinHole

An erection pin hole is a lift hole near the top of a column that can be used by a crane to lift the column into place.

Automatic generates an erection pin hole based on the selection made to Fabricator Setup > Member Detailing Settings > "Columns" section > "Show erection pin holes on columns." Exception: Connection design may prevent a lift hole from being generated in order to avoid interference with a connection to the column.

Yes centers a pin hole at the half-depth of the column. The pin hole is the diameter and edge distance (from the top of the column) specified in Member Detailing and Fabrication Options. The pin hole will be generated even if it interferes with a connection to the column.

No prevents a pin hole from being created -- regardless of the choice made in Member Detailing Settings.

Declaration
public AutomaticYesNo UseErectionPinHole { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
AutomaticYesNo
