Creates plate systems by selecting a plane to locate and orient the bracket. The bracket has predefined shapes defined by symbols and rules. A bracket plate system is a structural bracket that can be stiffened, penetrated by stiffeners on the bounding structure, and split with design seams. A bracket plate system is always bounded to the structure that it supports.
A bracket is classified by its plane definition and its number of supports. Brackets are oriented by a selected plane or by the supports.
