The option is used to define a linear element (a section of an RC structure's element assigned length). Definition of a linear element consists of two parts:
- Definition of a section and saving it to disk (in the database)
- Insertion of a section into a drawing assigning the length to it.
Select the option from:
- Menu: Reinforcement > Structure elements - reinforcement > Insert linear element
- Ribbon: ASD - Structure elements > Structure elements - reinforcement > Insert linear element
- Toolbar: Structure elements - reinforcement > Insert linear element
.
The following dialog displays:
After selecting a linear element saved earlier on disk (applying the Create linear element option), a block of drawing elements is placed in a drawing. A selected linear element is given a name and length (see the Linear element parameters dialog ); elements' spacing over the length is also determined (e.g. elements spaced at 200 mm over the 2000 mm-length).
