Article summary

The Scaffold tab enables you to add and configure the Scaffold Bays that you add to the Drawing Page. There are two types of Bays that you can click and drag onto a drawing: Standard Bays and Connector Bays.

Standard Bays

Standard Bays are the fundamental component of the Scaffolds you build with Avontus Designer. You can configure Standard Bays with default settings the best suit the needs and standards of your business (dimensions, number of nodes per Bay, with or without planks, plank types, toeboard types, guardrail types, number of sill boards, etc.). Configure default Standard Bay settings in the Global Options dialog. For more information, refer to Setting Default Scaffold Bay Options.

Connector Bays

Connector Bays are malleable Bays that you can customize to fit into any space (for example, corners with odd angles). By default, Connector Bays have a trapezoidal shape.  However, you can click and drag the corners and connect them with other Bays. To learn how to place a Connector Bay, refer to Placing a Connector Bay Between Two Standard Bays.
