<summary>Video Transcript:</summary>

In this video we are going to take a look at one of the corner girders to see what needs to be adjusted to pass the checks. We'll take a look at D-CG6 . We will look to see why it is exceeding capacity.

Let's click on our plate pair and see what is taking place. Looks to be that our plate pair is at 103%. It looks to be failing by grip on the end vertical. Let's try and adjust it. Click on the plate and click on the arrow to move the plate to the right. As we move it, the values are looking better. Seems as a little movement to the right fixed this without needing to increase the size of the plate.

We hope this video has shown you how a simple adjustment can take care of an exceeded plate value by moving it around to better fit the component.

Re-analyze this and looks like we are good.

Thanks for watching!
