To create an Atlantic Hipset with corner framing:

1. Follow the steps above (for creating an Atlantic Hipset without corner girders), but from the Corner Girder drop down list select Truss.

You remain in truss input mode after trusses are added to the layout and can continue adding trusses, until you manually exit the command. Press Esc or right-click and select Cancel to exit.

Additional Placement Options

• If you already know the settings defined on the Hip Set dialog, you do not need to open the dialog to place trusses. Press Shift and click the icon for the truss placement option you want to use. Truss Studio automatically opens the layout in truss input mode, bypassing the dialog box.
• If you want to repeat the last truss placement, click or select Truss Placement > Next Truss > Repeat Last Placement.

Undo Options

• While the command is enabled, using Undo reverses the previous step.
• Using Undo during a multi-step command undoes one step at a time.
• Undoing past the first step in a multi-step command exits the command and undoes the last block.
• Outside of a multi-step command, Undo will undo a block at a time.
• Esc or Cancel ends the command and undoes any partially completed blocks in the script.
