As with adding and deactivating structure objects, changing the properties of objects is regulated similarly for the individual categories: As soon as you have entered the 'Base' tab in the If you have activated a check box for members, surfaces or solids compared to the previous construction stage ', you can specify which objects are to be modified in the corresponding additional tab. For example, you can change the hinge definition for certain members.
The 'Modify Properties of Objects section controls' which objects are subject to changes from the previous construction stage and which modification is present in each case.
Members / Surfaces / Solids No.
Enter the numbers of the objects whose properties change in the current construction stage. As soon as you have activated the table cell, you can also use the
button in the input field to select the objects graphically in the work window.
Action
This column is intended to enable the selection of which action is to be carried out. Only the 'modification' is currently available.
Property to Modify
The list contains certain properties of the structure object that you can change. In the case of a member, these are, for example, the hinge at the member start or end as well as the support along the member (member foundation).
Original Value
For information, the currently valid parameters of the object property are displayed in this column.
New Value
Here you can define the new object property that changes in the current construction stage. Select the appropriate entry from the list. The option '-' means that no type is assigned and therefore no joint or bearing is available. With the entry 'New ...' you can create a new type.
Comment
This column allows you to add a comment to the modification.
