Modify end fixity

The Fixed / Pinned command allows you to graphically review and modify the end fixity of all members in the model.

  1. Open a view and change the view regime to Review View.
  2. On the Review toolbar, click Fixed / Pinned.
  3. Go to the Properties window.
  4. In the Attribute list, ensure that Fixed / Pinned is selected.
  5. With the Mode set as Toggle, do one of the following:
    • Click an individual member to switch its end fixity between the valid end fixity types.
    • Hold down the left mouse button and drag a box from left to right to alter the fixity settings of all members within the box.
    • Hold down the left mouse button and drag a box from right to left to alter the fixity settings of all members within the box or cut by the box.
  6. Alternatively, with the Mode set as Set On, select the FixityType required and then click an individual member, or drag a box, as above to apply the chosen fixity.
    Note: If the end fixity of a member is labeled Cantilever, or N/A, the end fixity at end 1 of the element is different from the fixity at end 2. You can only edit a mixed end fixity by right-clicking on the member and editing its properties in the Properties dialog.
