When placing or editing a structure where the chosen mast and foundation must be used together with an adapter plate, you can select a compatible adapter plate from the drop-down menu in the 'Edit Structure' window, as seen below.
When you choose an adapter plate from the drop-down menu, the top and bottom gaps will be initially populated with default values, which you’ll be able to edit.
Gap (adapter plate): Associated with the distance between the base of the mast and the top of the adapter plate.
Gap (foundation): Associated with the distance between the top of the foundation and the base of the adapter plate.
Alternatively, if you have selected a mast and foundation that doesn’t need to be used with an adapter plate, the adapter plate drop-down and top ‘Gap’ field will be greyed out. The bottom ‘Gap’ field will remain editable and determine the gap between the base of the mast and the top of the foundation.
The use of an adapter plate is recorded in the foundation details report. Find out more here.
