as follows:
- Do either of the following:
- Select Beams, Columns >
Profile into Structure.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu, and select
Profiles > Profile into Structure. The status
bar displays the cross section information and the purpose of the
profile to be added.
- Select the profile properties by using the functions on the
contextual toolbar:
The cross section you selected will be set as the default until
you select another cross section.
-
If necessary, change the direction of the cross section with the
functions on the contextual toolbar.
When you add a profile in the 2D drawing, the cursor shows the
direction of the cross section.
- Select the locating point at the start of the profile in one of
the following ways:
- As a default, the Smart selection for
structure function is selected in the contextual toolbar. The
profile is automatically connected to the structure (for example
wall panel) in the area of which you click the profile's start and
end point. If necessary, you can disable the function, and click
the structure to which you wish to add the profile.
- Select the start point of the profile.
- If necessary, select the locating point for the end of the
profile. The locating point can be a different point at the start
of the profile and at the end. Open the locating point menu for the
end of the profile by using the function Common/Separate Locating Point for
Start And End Points.
- Select the end point of the profile.
