To Add Tool Properties to a Structural Member

Use this procedure to apply the properties of a structural member tool to one or more members of the same tool type (beam, brace, or column) in a drawing. The properties include any settings specified in the tool you select.

  1. Open the tool palette that you want to use.

    (You may have to scroll to display the desired tool.)

  2. Right-click a structural member tool, and click Apply Tool Properties to <Beam, Brace, or Column>.
  3. Select the structural members that coincide with the tool, and press Enter.
  4. Edit the properties of the structural member on the Properties palette, if needed.
