Problems when creating a shear plate connection (beam to beam or beam to column) using the library

RE 2010: When creating a shear plate connection (beam to
beam or beam to column) using the library, i set the gaps to 0".
But when i apply the new library connection a 3/8" gap
occurs between the shear plate and the beam or column its
welded to. Will this be fixed in the next SP?

Hello Mr Rohal

Yes, this issue from the Shear plate connection will be fixed when the Sp-2 will be release.

I connection toolbar, go to "Plate and bolts" & in "Plate layout" change the value of "web gap" to 0 (zero). By changing this value you are forcing A.S. to have no gap.
