NOTE You cannot convert a closed polyline (a polyline with a start
node that coincides with its end node) to a structural member.
A worksheet opens appropriate to the tool you selected.
4 Clear One Member Per Polyline Segment to create a structural
member for each segment.
5 Select Erase Layout Geometry to erase the linework, and click OK.
If you created a structural member by converting a polyline, the
initial orientation of the structural member is set to the UCS that
was current when you drew the polyline. You can change the
orientation by adjusting the Roll property of the member.
Editing Structural Members
After you create a structural member, you can change any properties of the
member that you specified when you created it and make additional
modifications. You can change the start and end offsets of a member, or add
or remove them. You can change the length, justification, and location of a
member, specifying whether its connections with other structural members
are maintained. For a curved structural member, you can change the radius.
You can change the geometry of a structural member by trimming it. By
changing the structural member type, you can change a brace to beam, or a
column to a brace. By changing the style of a structural member, you can
change its shape.
AutoCAD Architecture offers several methods for editing structural members:
â– You can directly edit structural members using grips for dimensions and
other physical characteristics.
