Insert Beams (3-D SE)

Steel Engineering > New

Various options are available for the insertion of beams:

You can insert beams either as main parts or sub-parts.

Multi-part standard beams

Inserts multi-part standard beams, such as double L-beams, welded beams or box beams. 

Elongated plates

Inserts elongated plates.

Bar elements

Indication of beam orientation

When you insert a Steel Engineering beam, the orientation of the beam, i.e. the

will be indicated in the form of a coordinate system at its start. The indication appears as soon as the beam becomes visible, and its position still need to be specified.

Please note that the size of the orientation symbol will not change when you zoom in or out.

(1) During activation, (2) During insertion

 

The indication of orientation can be set in the Configuration Editor , at ... > System settings > Visualisation > Indicate orientation of active Steel Engineering beam. The following options are available:

The colours of the orientation symbol can be changed via the Colour Editor (Drawing > Others > Colour Editor).
