Analytical wall drawings will be automatically overlayed when When the analytical beam command is active in order to show , the AEC|BOLT AUTOCAD App automatically overlays the analytical wall drawings to display the end nodes of the analytical wallwalls.
Yellow points show the The end nodes of the analytical beam line and pink points show are indicated by yellow points, while the end nodes of the analytical wall shown are represented by pink points, as depicted in Figure 6.

Figure 7
→ Enter In the spreadsheet, enter the width and depth of the analytical beam in the spreadsheet , as shown illustrated in Figure 7.
→ Enter the Refline Offset (if necessary) and Vertical Offset (if necessary) in the spreadsheet, as shown in Figure 7.
User can Users also have the option to divide the analytical line into multiple parts and give them assign different properties to each part, such as thickness.
