Change Length (3-D SE)

Steel Engineering > Lengthen

You use these functions to lengthen or shorten beams

Change length

The beam length is changed by a certain amount. A positive value lengthens the beam, while a negative value shortens it.

Identify the beam by the end to be lengthened and specify the value for the change of length.

Change beam length, via new total length

You shorten/lengthen the beam by specifying the new overall length.

Identify the beam by the end to be lengthened and specify the new overall length.

Change beam length, to point

The beam is shortened/lengthened to an arbitrary 3-D point in the drawing.

Identify the beam by the end to be lengthened. Specify the 3-D point up to which you want the beam to be lengthened/shortened

A perpendicular is dropped from the specified 3-D point to the beam axis and the beam length lengthened/shortened up to this point

The front contour will be preserved when the length is changed!
