How can I add cross-section details, such as a cross-section image, stress points, and others, to the printout report?Answer
The content of the printout report can be defined in the "Printout Report Selection" dialog box. To add the cross-section data, select the check box in Table 1.13 Cross-Sections (RFEM) or Table 1.3 Cross-Sections (RSTAB). Click the [...] button to open the "Cross-Section Details" dialog box (Figure 01), where you can select the details you want.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- How can I change the colors of the selection and preselection?
- Can I have generated member loads from surface loads act eccentrically on the member section by means of a plane?
- After calculating the add -on module RF-/DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads, the size of my file has increased significantly. The performance has deteriorated enormously. What could be the reason for this?
- Why are my imperfections displayed differently and can I adjust the display?
- What happens to the programs and add -on modules if the network license times out? And how can I increase the timeout?
- Why is it not possible to select a load case in the RF-/STEEL add-on module for design, although it is defined in RFEM/RSTAB?
- Does the load generation also work for curved members?
- What effects can renumbering elements have on the printout report and the add -on modules?
- In my model, some surfaces are displayed in gray, while others are displayed in white without a gray filling. The "solid transparent" display type is selected for the graphics. How can all surfaces be displayed in gray?
- How can I get the member end forces to design the connections?
