Creating Structural Member Tools
You can create structural member tools and add them to tool palettes. Tool
palettes in AutoCAD Architecture let you quickly place beams, braces, and
columns by selecting a structural member tool with a specific style and other
predefined properties.
If you created structural member styles in the Structural Member Catalog or
with the Structural Member Style wizard, you can drag the styles from the
Style Manager to tool palettes and then customize the properties of the new
tools.
You can also use any of the following methods to create structural member
tools:
â– Drag a structural member that has the properties you want to a tool palette.
â– Copy an existing tool in the current palette, paste it onto the current
palette or a different palette, and then customize the properties of the new
tool.
â– Drag a tool from the Content Browser to a tool palette and then customize
the properties of the new tool.
