Inserting single purlin cleat connections
I have a query regarding inserting single purlin cleat connections. It can be imputted for instance on the lower side of the purlin on a sloped rafter, however when I try to install it on the opposite slope it automatically installs the connection on the upper side of the purlin. I have tried mirroring etc. but this will not work. I do not want to delete joint box and do it this way as it makes it far more difficult to copy in transform elements. I would appreciate any assistance.
Than You

How split a rafter beam into two separate lengths and join with two plates over a column
Hello
I want to split a rafter beam into two separate lengths and
join with two plates over a column (it is too long) I have
tried drawing a polyline and then using the split beam
function, however it shows as separation not possible.
Can you tell me how to rectify?
Also I have set up a connection template in a separate file.
The connection is a plate on both the flange of a column
and a beam joined with an angle. When I try to insertion
connection template it does not show the plates on the
flanges but it shows the angle and the bolts that should
connect to the plates. I set up the plates using the 'plate
along beam flange command' I have tried different
variations many times with the same result.
How do I rectify this?
