CADWorx Structure tab: Model panel > Connections > Splice

Place a splice connection between two members. Designers can place both web and flange plates at the same time. The two members that are being spliced together must be collinear.

Template

Load a previously created splice connection, or create and save a new splice connection.

Plate Data Table

Select the data table that contains the plate to place. The catalog contains information for all data tables. You can view the catalog in the CADWorx Structure Editor.

Material

Specifies the material of the splice plate connection member.

Group

Specifies the assigned group. When you select a group from the list, the layer automatically updates to the layer assigned to that group. The groups that display in the Group list come from the Group Manager in the Structure Editor. For more information, see Group Manager in the CADWorx Structure Editor Users Guide.

Layer

Specifies the assigned layer. Layers default to the assigned group. However, you can change a layer as needed. The layers that display in the Layer list come from the Layer Manager in the Structure Editor. For more information, see Layer Manager in the CADWorx Structure Editor Users Guide.
