All the properties are 0 or null when the beam is first drawn.Material property must be selected and depth value must be entered from spreadsheet as shown in Figure 4. → Select/Edit the material and enter depth of the beam in the spreadsheet as demonstrated in Figure 4
If the top elevation of beam and the top elevation of slab are not the same, user must enter elevation offset value.Select “Analytical Lines”
Analytical Lines
Select Analytical Lines from spreadsheet data as shown in Figure 1.

→ Click “Draw Draw Analytical Beam” Beam as shown in Figure 5 to draw analytical lines linked to beam object.
...
Yellow points show the end nodes of analytical beam line and pink points show the end nodes of analytical wall shown in Figure 6.

Figure 7
User must enter → Enter the width value and depth of the analytical beam line from in the spreadsheet as illustrated shown in Figure 7. Depth value is the same with beam depth value but can be edited later
→ Enter Refline Offset(if necessary) and Vertical Offset(if necessary) in the spreadsheet as shown in Figure 7.
User can divide the analytical line into parts and give them different properties such as thickness.
