Create Linear Element

This option is used to define a linear element (a section of an RC structure element assigned length, e.g. RC ring beams). The 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 and defining the spacing of transverse bars.

Select the option from:

Menu: Reinforcement > Structure elements - reinforcement > Create linear element
Ribbon: ASD - Structure elements > Structure elements - reinforcement > Create linear element
Toolbar: Structure elements - reinforcement > Create linear element .

The following dialog displays:

To create a linear element and save it to disk:

Indicate a folder where to a linear element is to be saved (the folder's name will appear in the Save in field)
Specify name of a linear element in the Element name field
Indicate an element (block of drawing elements) on screen after clicking Select objects; such an element will be saved to disk (thus creating a database of available linear elements).
