Background
Apart from given standard shapes and freely defined special shapes of any kind, you can insert plates of any shape into the model. These plates are referred to as polyplates in ProSteel. These plates are flat or three-dimensionally bent plates of equal thickness, such as gusset plates or other types of connecting plates and butt straps.
The video below will shows how to insert different plates using the ProSteel plates/polyplates command.
