How to Create Cross or K Bracing

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I would like to know how everyone else creates Cross or K bracing between steel columns of buildings.
The bracing's would be either Wi sections(I Beams), Steel Tubing or Angles and around them fire proofing (boxed in layers of gypsum board).
Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joseph

I do not understand the charm that one has to figure out the "Angle" between a column and a brace manually to input in settings instead of simply garbing the end of the brace an attaching the brace from bottom end of one column to top of the next column, or am I missing a vital HotSpot?

you have to do it in two hits: the hotspot in the centre of the beam is the angle rotation and the one in the middle at the end will allow you to stretch it . . .
