Click on the down arrow button with the left mouse button. The appropriate material is selected from the drop-down list of materials. |
Texture world length  The texture length is entered. For example; If 1 meter is entered, the selected material texture width is taken as 1 meter and the selected object is overlaid. If the texture is considered to be square, the surfaces of the objects are covered with 1x1 textures lined up side by side. |
Name text - X/Y displacement  X and Y coordinates of the |
steel joist dimension text are entered. If the size X value is entered positive, the text moves from the edge to the left, and if the negative value is entered, it moves to the right. If the text Y value is positive, the text moves up, and if it is negative, it moves down. The directions indicated here should be considered according to the direction of view. |
Name text - Height  Dimension text height is entered. |
Name text - Color  Size is the color of the font height. It is scrolled on the color palette opened by clicking and holding the button with the left mouse button.

İnterval based  Steel joists can be drawn by entering the distance between the steel joists. |
Count  Shows the count of steel joists. |
Place extra steel on exact last interval  If selected, place extra steel on exact last interval. |
Spaced first element/Spaced last element  Since the first and last steel joist usually coincide on the element, they are options that can be used to eliminate this situation. If marked, steel joists found at the beginning and ending are not drawn. |
Mid-oriented first element/Mid-oriented last element  When placing the first and last elements, alignment is made according to the midpoint of the element. When the Spaced first element/Spaced last element options are activated, these options become inactive. |
Offsets  The start and end distances of the steel joists can be entered. If the options perpendicular to the first/second main part are marked, offset distances can be adjusted by keeping the perpendicularity condition constant to one of the main beams. If the free offsets option is selected, offset distances can be edited independently of the main beam parts. |

Over the top  It enables the main elements, on which the steel joists are modeled, to be modeled to sit on the upper head. |
Top oriented  It ensures that the upper head of the steel joist is aligned with the upper head of the main steel elements. |
Middle oriented  It ensures that the middle point of the steel joists and the middle of the main steel elements are aligned. |
Vertical displacement (delta)  The distance entered in the box allows modeling of the steel joist under the main steel element top head. |
Connection type  Select from the drop-down list for automatically generated slip connection between main steel element and steel joists. |
Extensions  It determines how long the steel joists will be extended from the main elements. |
Inner distance  If the upper header option is used, the distance between the two purlin ends should be entered at the point where the steel joists touch the main elements. |
