# Placing a Corner Bracket Between Two Side Brackets

After adding brackets to the sides of a Bay, Avontus Designer enables you to use a Connector Bay as a corner bracket between between them and convert the Bay to a corner deck.

## Create a Scaffold Bay with Side Brackets

Use Avontus Designer's Cantilever/Brackets function to add side brackets onto a Standard Bay.

To create a Bay with side brackets:

1. In a drawing, click and drag a bay to the drawing page

2. Click the Bay, to highlight it.
3. Click the **Scaffold** tab and click the **Side Settings** dropdown
4. Click the **R** and **B** in **the Cantilevers/Brackets** group and click **OK.**

## Add a Connector Bay

Adding a Connector Bay is a simple drag and drop procedure.

4. Click and drag the first Connector Bay T side corner to where the two side brackets end.

> **Note:** When hovering over the Standard Bay node, it will turn green, indicating it is ready to glue.

> [!WARNING]
> **Note:** The placement of the corners is very important! Be sure you drag both of the T side corners to the corner touching the Bay and both brackets.
5. Drag each of the B end corners to the exposed corner of the respective side bracket.
