Create planar drawings

Five drawing variants are grouped together as planar drawings:

  • General Arrangement - Layout drawing of a 2D level or frame.

  • Beam End Forces - General arrangement that includes the forces at steel beam ends. (Use case: steel connection design)

  • Column Splice Loads - Frame general arrangement that includes the loads at splice locations in steel columns. (Use case: steel connection design)

  • Foundation Reactions - General arrangement that includes support reactions. (Use case: foundation design)

  • Loading Plan - General arrangement that includes applied loads for a selected loadcase.

You can create a General Arrangement or Loading Plan at any time (from any view regime).

You can create a Beam End Forces, Column Splice Loads or Foundation Reactions drawing for a chosen analysis type and loading (having first specified the analysis type required from the Results tab.)

Note:
Before you create a drawing, ensure that the current drawing options meet your needs by doing the following:

  1. On the Draw tab, click Settings

  2. Go to Options.
  3. Click the drawing type whose options you want to review or adjust.
