You can quickly add a span into an
existing beam in both 2D and 3D views by introducing a new node.
-
Select the beam in a 2D or 3D view.
The nodes at each end and at the
mid-point become visible.
-
Select the node at the mid-point.
In the Select Entity tooltip this is described as a 'New node on ...'
-
Click a point where you want to the new
node to be created.
This can either be a valid point within
the span
or, a a grid or construction point
offset from the beam centerline
The new node is introduced into the beam
and the original span is split according to the position specified, into two inline
spans,
or two angled spans.
