Change Placement Point In Place (Key-in only)

Used to change the placement point or points of a member or a selection set of members and correct the member line(s) such that resulting members are at the same location in space.


The Change Placement Point In Place tool is a key-in only tool. It can be used as an alternative to the placement point option in the Modify Structural Attributes which does not maintain members’ location in space.
