The Occurrence tab displays in a grid the handrail properties that you can edit or that are automatically
determined by the software at placement. The property name appears on the left side
of the grid and the corresponding property value appears on the right side of the
grid. If you selected more than one handrail, and then selected the properties command,
only the common properties between the selected handrails display.
When viewing properties for a single handrail, the following properties display. More
properties may display depending on what you defined in the reference data. Refer
to the Structure Reference Data help for more information on properties.
Category
Select the properties that you want to view for the handrail. Handrail properties
are divided into several different categories: Standard, Weight and CG, Fabrication and Construction, Surface Treatment and Coating, and Responsibility. You select the category to define respective values by using the Category option.
Standard
The standard properties that display depend on the reference data for the handrail.
Because handrail reference data is fully customizable, only the common properties
are documented.

or the global X-axis, depending on the member orientation.
Toe Plate Section Cardinal Point
Specifies the relative position of the structural cross-section to the member placement
line. Nine cardinal positions (1-9) are available. The location of cardinal points
10 (center-of-gravity) and 15 (shear center) depend on the section shape. The local
z-axis of the member and the center-of-gravity point of the section define cardinal
points 11 and 14. The local y-axis of the member and the center-of-gravity point of
the section define cardinal points 12 and 13. Cardinal points 10 through 15 are unavailable
for designed members or cans.
Toe Plate Section Angle
Specifies the angle, in degrees or radians, by which the toe plate cross-section is
rotated about the member axis. The zero-degree position is either the global Z-axis
or the global X-axis depending on the member orientation.
Post Section Cardinal Point
Specifies the relative position of the structural cross-section to the member placement
line. Nine cardinal positions (1-9) are available. The location of cardinal points
10 (center-of-gravity) and 15 (shear center) depend on the section shape. The local
z-axis of the member and the center-of-gravity point of the section define cardinal
points 11 and 14. The local y-axis of the member and the center-of-gravity point of
the section define cardinal points 12 and 13. Cardinal points 10 through 15 are unavailable
for designed members or cans.
Post Section Angle
Specifies the angle, in degrees or radians, by which the post cross-section is rotated
about the member axis. The zero degree position is either the global Z-axis or the
global X-axis, depending on the member orientation.
Horizontal Offset
Specifies the direction the Horizontal Offset Distance property value is applied.
Horizontal Offset Distance
Specifies the horizontal offset from the defined handrail path to the handrail. You
control the direction of the offset using the Horizontal Offset property.
Vertical Offset value for Pad
Enter the height of the mounting pad.
Pad Plate Length
Enter the length of the pad plate.
Pad Plate Width
Enter the width of the pad plate.
Begin Treatment
Specifies a circular (1), rectangular (2), or none (3) end treatment for the beginning
of the handrail.
End Treatment
Specifies a circular (1), rectangular (2), or none (3) end treatment for the end of
the handrail.
Begin Extension Length
Specifies the distance between the beginning of the handrail and the first handrail
post. This distance must be greater than zero.
End Extension Length
Specifies the distance between the end of the handrail and the last handrail post.
This distance must be greater than zero.
Minimum offset Clearance at Post Turn
Specifies the minimum distance from a handrail turn that the software can place a
post.
Maximum offset Clearance at Post Turn
Specifies the maximum distance from a handrail turn that the software can place a
post.
Length
Displays the length of the handrail path.
Weight and CG
Displays the center-of-gravity and the weight of the selected object. The center-of-gravity
locations are displayed relative to the active coordinate system along the X-, Y-,
and Z-axes. The weight value that is displayed in the properties dialog is calculated
as the material density multiplied by the object's solid volume. Therefore, the material
of the object affects the weight value that is displayed here. Check the material
assigned to the object if the weight displayed is an improbable value. For the most
accurate weight calculation, use the Tools > Run Reports command.
Dry Weight
Specifies the dry weight of the object.
Dry CG X
Specifies the X-axis location of the dry center-of-gravity.
Dry CG Y
Specifies the Y-axis location of the dry center-of-gravity.
Dry CG Z
Specifies the Z-axis location of the dry center-of-gravity.
Dry WCG Origin
Specifies the way in which the dry weight center-of-gravity location is defined. The
list is defined by the WCGOrigin codelist.
Computed
Indicates that the software calculates the origin location.
Defined
Indicates that you want to manually define the dry weight center-of-gravity location
relative to the active coordinate system.
