Automatic design of lateral braces on bottom chord
Bottom chords and collar beams have new option for input of lateral braces - "automatic design of braces". This mode inserts automatically lateral braces into all joints on bottom chord (or collar beam). The design of braces in bays corresponds to the design of braces on webs: If out-of-plane buckling verification or slenderness check fails, the software will ad one or more lateral braces to split bay length into more segments with identical length. Such procedure reduces the count of braces comparing to the existing modes. This mode can be switched on for whole truss or project in "Truss/project settings" or individually for every bottom chord or collar beam in the "Member properties"
