Evaluating use of Structural member tool

[LarryO]

Is there any connection detailing functionality available when two member are connected?

Using standard bolted connections presented in the Handbook of Steel published by the American and/or Canadian Institute of Steel Construction?

There also doesn't appear to be a means to set the standard 13mm coping offset as a default from edge of beam.

 

Is there a means to present each beam used in an assembly individually so that it is linked to the beam in the assembly like a symbol would be? Change the one in the assembly and the presentation individual remains identical. When working in 3d the one used for presentation needs to remain close to the origin for the various views to be quickly created or you find yourself searching for where the object has disappeared to, especially if there is a clip boundary in use.

 

If viewports could present symbol definitions and each beam became a symbol based upon unique Member ID's. This would not prevent the creation of more than one beam with the same ID but would keep them identical in their entirety.
