❖ Horizontal bracing connections
❖ Base Plate Connections
❖ Vertical bracing connections
❖ Purlin, sag rods and batten plate connections
When working with IntelliConnect, it may be necessary to change the order for two reasons:
❖ The IntelliConnect operates on a joint. All connections on this joint are simultaneously taken
into account. For instance, in the case of column-beam connection (beams connecting to both
sides of the column) with vertical bracing , Intelliconnect will try to create all connections at the
same time to prevent clashing by making use of common parts. That will change the detailing
order.
❖ Since IntelliConnect operates on a joint, it is unclear whether the other joints are too close or
too far away. If the members or joints are close enough to collide with each other,
IntelliConnect may face conflict problems. In this case, the Clash Check command can be used to
detect collisions. IntelliConnect can run with the user's requested order so that it does not use
the connection information of other joints
In summary, connection design should be initiated from the main connections. IntelliConnect can be
triggered on grid and storey basis. The girt, purlin and sag rod connections can follow. Batten plate
connections should be created finally.
