Modifying Braces
Controlling Brace Attachments
After adding a brace element, you can modify the brace Properties to control how the brace maintains
position along a beam. Each brace endpoint can be maintained positionally with a beam by either a Distance
or a length Ratio from the beam end points. If you modify the position or length of the attached beam, the
brace adapts to the change, depending on the brace settings you select.
