Miter and Coping

Auto Miter

Miters two structural pieces to fit each other. The two structural pieces must be in the same plane and have connected member ends. You miter multiple member pairs in each command pass. For more information, see Auto Miter.

Auto Cope

Copes members to other members. You can place bolted coping or welded coping. You can turn on both Bolted and Welded, and the software prompts you to select an option when coping. If you turn on only one of the coping options, the software does not prompt you and automatically copes your members based on the selection and the Cope Distance set for that selection. For more information, see Auto Cope.
