Base Plate - Column Offset

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

  • Just FYI Seth, the issue of gusset baseplate offsets perpendicular to the plane of the brace was brought up in the forum back on 12/11/2013 under the thread "RAM Connection:Base Plate common to 2 brace frames", as well as by myself in Service Ticket #7000250829 from 10/13/2014. Besides at corner braces, transverse offsets also occur a lot at braces in walls where they can't bump out into one side. Renovations in particular come to mind as one example where you often can't use preferred symmetrical configurations because of interference with existing construction.
