defining structural elements
along model lines for
structural framing, columns,
trusses & footing elements
2015 R2: Alignment Reference

reference
� You can also reset
multiple changed
references
2015 R2: Structural Framing Orientation
Structural framing orientation:
21
� Allows you to flip structural framing elements
� The element will still maintain joins, as well as setback,
geometry, and justification modifications
2015 R2: User interface for structural elements
User interface for structural elements:
22
� To improve productivity during
structural modeling, take advantage
of the following enhancements:
� The y Offset and z Offset tools
now reside directly on the
Justification panel
� The properties for point loads, line
loads, and area loads are
reorganized and regrouped in the
Properties palette
� The analytical properties for
structural elements are
reorganized and regrouped in the
Properties palette

2016 - Revision Enhancements
Revision Enhancements:
25
� The ability to select
multiple rows in the
dialog makes it easy to
delete multiple
revisions at once
� You can change the
starting number for a
numeric sequence to
zero or any positive
number
2016 - Revision Enhancements
Revision Enhancements:
26
� Alphabetic sequence
type is now
"alphanumeric," and it
can accept any custom
sequence of characters
� Each value in the
sequence can consist of
more than one character
� Add a prefix and/or suffix
to display with values in
a sequence
2016 - Open Sheet View
Open Sheet View:
27
� To quickly open and
identify the sheet on
which a view is placed
� Saves time from
having to scroll down
to the Sheets area
2016 - Selection Boxes
Selection Boxes:
28
� Isolate selected items
for unobstructed 3D
viewing and
documentation

Navigation During Redraw:
29
� Real-time navigation support to
improve performance when
navigating a view
� Allows you to navigate the
model smoothly and
continuously while panning,
zooming, and orbiting around
the view, without waiting for the
software to finish drawing
elements at each step
� This option is enabled by default
2016 - Rotate Project North
Rotate Project North:
30
� In addition to rotating model elements in plan view, this tool
also rotates view-specific detail elements, including text
notes, detail lines, filled regions, revision clouds, and more

regardless of the detail level
assigned to the view
