Number of segments in a curved beam

Tekla Structures - Not version-specific curved beam
Environment
Not environment-specific

Question:
Is there a variable that sets the default number of segments in a curved beam?

Answer:
You can set the number of segments on the Steel beam or Concrete beam property pane or in versions older than Tekla Structures 2018 in Beam Properties > Position tab. You can save the number as a standard setting. This setting is saved to the model folder so that every curved beam will have the same number of segments.

The max number of segments is 59. Limit is there because of performance.
