The Occurrence tab displays the feature properties that you can edit or that are automatically determined by the software at placement. The property name appears on the left side of the grid and the corresponding property value appears on the right side of the grid. If you selected more than one feature, and then selected the Properties command, only the common properties between the selected feature display.
When you view properties for a single feature, the following properties display. More properties may display depending on what you defined in the reference data. See the Structural Reference Data Overview.
Standard
Name
Displays the name of the feature. The feature name is based on the Name Rule selection. If you type a name in this field, the Name Rule property updates to User Defined.
Name Rule
Specifies the naming rule that you want to use to name this feature. You can select one of the listed rules or select User Defined to specify the feature name yourself in the Name box.
System
Displays the name of the parent system.
SurfaceTrim_1 Options
Clearance
Displays the clearance value.
Squared End
Specifies whether the end of the member is squared or skewed when the two members are not perpendicular. Set this option to 0 if you want the member end to look like end A in the figure. Set this option to 1 if you want the member end to look like end B in the figure.
Flange Angle
Displays the angle between the normal to the cutting surface and the member axis in the horizontal plane with respect to the member (the flange plane).
Web Angle
Specifies the angle between the normal to the cutting surface and the member axis in the vertical plane with respect to the member (the web plane).
Trim End
Specifies which member end is being trimmed. Type 1 for the start. Type 2 for the end.
Web Cope 1/2 in Clearance Options
Min Cope Length Clearance
Specifies the distance between the flanges. This is dimension B in the figure.
Min Cope Depth Clearance
Specifies the distance between the web and the flange. This is dimension C in the figure.
Rounding Increment
Specifies the value by which to increment the cope dimension. For example, if you set the Increment to 2" (inches), the cope dimension is always divisible by 2 (2", 4", 6", 8", 10", and so on). Similarly, if you set the Increment to 3", the cope dimension is always divisible by 3 (3", 6", 9", 12", and so on). Setting the Increment value to 0 causes the cope to be the exact length needed to clear.
Cope Radius
Specifies the radius of the cope at the intersection of the cope length clearance and cope depth clearance. These are corners A in the figure.
Cope Radius Type
Specifies the type (Radius (1), Chamfer (2), or None (0)) for the cope radius.
Web Radius
Specifies the web radius of the member being coped. These are corners F in the figure.
Web Radius Type
Specifies the type (Radius (1), Chamfer (2), or None) (0) for the web radius.
Cope End
Used for reporting. Leave blank.
Cope Length
Specifies the cope length. This is dimension D in the figure.
Cope Depth
Specifies the cope depth. This is dimension E in the figure.
Cope Edge
Used for reporting. Leave blank.
