Minor bug fixes on bolt spacing in some bolt groups

Some minor UI fixes

New features

  1. Studs are placed more accurately on parts, especially in corners.
  2. There is an option to place the bolts according to exact part rendering (radius corners) or normal.  This allows for more accurate shop drawings.
     
  3. Studs can not be created as parts instead of bolt groups.
     
  4. You can specify the weld for studs modeled as parts.
  5. Threaded stud assemblies (Stud, nuts and washers) can be modeled as loose parts are part of the embed assembly.
     
  6. Anchor bolts as parts have been added as an option.
      
    There is also an optional insert or epoxy part that can be added to the model. The Bolt properties Extra Length tells the plugin how much of the bolt should be sticking out of the concrete or masonry.   The embed depth will be the Bolt Length – Extra Length.  This will also be the length of the Insert.
  7. The Part information on the Studs and Anchors is on the Material tab and the Bolt properties will be combined with the Part information to create the Studs and Anchors as parts in the model.
     This picture shows the options for Bolts, Threaded Studs and Anchors on the Holes/Bolts tab.
     

Updated to v1.0.8 for some minor bug fixes..  See below for upgrading instructions.
