Hello,

I just don't understand the question and answer above. Can anybody explain it in general?

Thank you!

  Just look at the options and think. Cladding attachments shown are horizontal to primarily allow up/down movement. The outrigger shown will also allow up/down and is not designed per se to allow left/right. The bearing point C must allow movement both up/down and left/right because if not the cladding system - building connection will fail.

  I'm working on something similar for a project right now.  The item labeled C is the vertical dead load anchor.  Basically, all the bearing weight of the panel is on this so it's fixed.  B is a lateral tie back which needs to be able to move slightly and handle non vertical loads like wind.  The question is poorly worded because it only needs to move a little if at all.  The flexibility is necessary for installation.
