Elevation Based Input

The elevation of the bottom of the panel may be specified. By adjusting this, it allows the designer to adjust the elevation of the bottom of the panel without moving the location of all inputs which use elevations. It also allows the reviewer to check a file where the inputs match the elevations on the drawings. All inputs that call out a location as an elevation will have their location on the panel be computed as their input elevation minus the elevation of the bottom of the panel.

The following inputs are based on elevations:

  • Bottom panel elevation

  • Top panel elevation

  • Floor tie elevation

  • Restraint elevation

  • Moment release elevation

  • Point load elevation

  • External grade elevation

  • Internal grade elevation
