Gravity only - review and set for beams and columns

Graphically review and modify the gravity only setting of the beams and columns from a Review View using the Show/Alter State command Gravity only attribute.

CAUTION: If you specify a member as 'gravity only' it will only be designed/checked for active gravity combinations, all other active combinations are ignored. For more information, see: Design individual members for gravity only
If necessary, you can review and modify the gravity only setting of the beams and columns in your model as follows;
  1. Open a view and switch the view regime to Review View.
  2. On the Review ribbon, click Show/Alter State.
  3. Go to the Properties window.
  4. In the Attribute list, select Gravity only.

    All members are color coded to indicate their gravity only setting.

  5. Do one of the following:
    • Click a steel beam or column to set its gravity only setting on or off.
    • Hold down the left mouse button and drag a box from left to right to set on or off the gravity only setting of all steel beams and columns within the box.
