Q5.15: It says for the frame members they must fit within the .2′ by .2′ by 15′ box. Does this mean columns that experience 3-D shape, such as incline columns, are not allowed within our structure?

A: Inclined columns are allowed as long as they can fit within the 0.2” by 0.2” by 15” box at any orientation. One way to visualize how those columns can fit within the box is to make the height (the longest side) of the columns parallel with the 15” side of the box.
