Base Plate - Column Offset

WT1221 — Mon, 19 Jun 2017 22:03:14 GMT

Hi, see below. Is there any way to offset the column in the direction perpendicular to the brace direction. It only gives me the option for a transversal offset (see what I highlighted in red), but I want a longitudinal offset (parallel to the column web or perpendicular to the brace direction). Only way I've found to do a longitudinal offset is by changing the column orientation to "longitudinal", but this will change to connection to a beam to column flange which definitely is not the intent.

Thanks

RAM Elements Tiltup - Bottom Panel

Under geometry input, there is an option for "Bottom panel". I do not understand what this does. When a value is input, the graphic makes it look like the bottom of the panel is buried in the footing. I'm trying to figure out how to model the geometry and loading condition of a tiltup wall at a dock without the slab tied into the wall for support.

When I make the slab on grade a level, it makes the s.o.g. A support for the wall, but I don’t want to tie the slab to the wall. Can this be modeled?
