Why are the Beveled washers under the "Washer" component? Since all the other washers are basically flat, and Bevel Washers are not, the "Bevel Washers" should have their own component, as they need an additional thickness dimension parameter (as they are flat on one side and sloped/tapered on the other side).
In AISC we mainly just use ASTM A325, ASTM A325TC, ASTM A449, ASTM A490, & ASTM A490TC for high strength bolts. The lengths these bolts come in vary depending on bolt diameter; however, the bolt lengths for these range from 1" through 9" long in 1/4" increments. While the bolt diameters come in 1/2" through 1-1/2" in 1/8" increments. The A325TC bolts only come in diameters 5/8" through 1-1/8" & only in lengths that range from 1" through 5" in 1/4" increments & 5-1/2" through 8-1/2" in 1/2" increments. Again, the lengths they come in depend on the diameter. The A490TC bolts only come in diameters 3/4" through 1-1/8" & only in lengths that range from 1" through 5" in 1/4" increments & 5-1/2" through 8-1/2" in 1/2" increments. Again, the lengths they come in depend on the diameter. The rule at the bottom, "Bolt Delta" should be equal to the bolt length increments. The "bolt length" rule should be the shortest length the bolts come in.
Since A325 & A490 bolts mostly come in length increments of 1/4", that means the delta of the bolt length should be 1/4" most of the time. According to AISC 6.11.3 The rules for these bolts should be such that the minimum bolt projection (stick through) is 0" & the maximum bolt projection will automatically larger than the minimum bolt projection by the delta of the bolt length.
Very Helpful. Thank a lot.

This is the information I need. How the automatic rules work.
thank you
what about U-bolts in Advance Steel?
Hi, Can you tell how can I export the new bolts database to Revit?
How do you weld on a bolt to a single pipe or base plate?

To change the name of an existing bolt, you right click on the name of it on the list (on the left) & click on rename.

What's the bolt length rules for AISC?

For connection bolts that is.
