Editing Beams
You can edit any beam after it is placed within a project. The beam can be moved or rotated from the location
where it was originally placed, or the beam can be extended or reshaped using graphical controls. For more
information, see
Editing Elements on page 269.
To move a beam
1 In a project view, select the beam.
2 Drag the beam to a new location in the drawing area, or use the arrow keys on your keyboard.
For more information, see
Moving Elements on page 300.
To rotate a beam
1 Select the beam in a plan view.
2 Click Rotate on the toolbar.
3 Click the end point for the rotation. For more information, see Rotating Elements on page 308.
Beam Graphical Controls
When you sketch beams, you can use available graphical controls to modify the attachment points between
each beam and the structural element (column, structural wall).
You can either set the location of the controls when creating the beam or select and manually adjust it after
the beam is created.
Beam Handles
The beam handles of a beam are the attachment points of the beam. Beam handles display as small filled
circles that indicate where the end of the selected beam is attached to a column or wall.
