Some backties in V360 are designed to have multiple struts to support the tension. In Lineardraft, these are represented by a single backtie that should be added twice using specific foundations and baseplates.
The following article will guide you through configuring the foundation and baseplate selection for a multi-strut backtie. To follow the full process for adding a backtie please see the following article: Adding a Backtie
