Offset 1D to 1D

Offset always occurs in one direction (one to the other): the adjusting Members will be offset to their targets; the targeted Members will remain unchanged.

1D to 1D Offset Options

Let’s use an example of 2 beams connected to a column. Each beam has a different cross section and is placed with different eccentricity to the column.

Click the arrow of the Offset Adjuster Type to choose options for 1D Offset.

Set the maximum allowed offset distance.

Choose one of the four offset logic options:

Each option is illustrated in the table below.

Global Z direction only

Check this if the 1D Member should only be offset in the global Z direction. Offsets in other directions will not be applied.
