Modifying Properties of Objects

You can also control the properties of structural objects in the individual tab categories: If you activate a check box in the “Main” tab in the Change Compared to Previous Construction Stage section, you can specify which objects are to be modified in the corresponding additional tab.

In the Modify Properties of “Objects” section, you specify which objects (members, surfaces, solids, support, and so on) are to be modified from the previous construction stage and which properties are to be changed.

Members / Surfaces / Solids etc. No.

Enter the numbers of the objects whose properties are changing in the current construction stage. Only objects that are listed as “Active” in the “Change Status of 'Objects'” section are allowable.

Once you have activated the table cell, you can use the Select Objects in Graphics button in the input box to select the objects graphically in the work window.
