# Adjust Plate Placement

<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!

## 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.paragontruss.com/design/how-to/general/adjust-plate-placement.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.
