Remarks

Elements should be of the following structural categories: framings (OST_StructuralFraming), columns (OST_StructuralColumns), walls (OST_Walls), floors (OST_Floors) or foundations (OST_StructuralFoundations). The first of given elements is set as primary one. The placement of the connection takes into account the additional definition points.
