# Structural Framing Joins

**Structural Framing Joins -** search for different intersections of Structural Framing elements. Available if Category of Configuration is Structural Framing. It gives you identical options as in Wall Joins.

1. End Connection - Places elements at the end connection of the Structural Framing element that is connected to another Str. Framing element (both start and end if the Str. Framing Element is connected from both sides).<br>

5. L Butt Connection - Places elements on the butted Str. Framing element in an L connection. (In this case, it is the Edge Stud that is butted in the L connection with the Bottom Plate and Top Plate)

6. L Connection - Places elements at the L connection (used for the long Str. Framing element, not for the butted Str. Framing element. In this case it is Bottom plate and Top Plate that are in L connection with the Edge Studs).

7. T Butt Connection - Places elements at the T connection on the butted Str. Framing element in both End and Start side. (In the picture below you can see that the Studs are butted Str. Framing Elements in T connection with Top and Bottom plates).

10. T Connection - Places elements on the wall in a T connection. In this case Top and Bottom Plates are in the L connection with the Studs. (Studs being butted in this case)

11. X Connection - Places elements at the X connection (when the Str. Framing element has two connected Str. Framing elements at the same point from both sides).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.besmart.software/3d-modeling-and-design/smart-connections/configuration-window/adjust-layout-by-searching-for-other-elements/structural-framing-joins.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
