  2. Input the support coordinates (0,0,0), (10,0,0), (10,0,10), (0,0,15), (14,0,0) and (5,0,5) for position numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively.

    The tab key or the arrow keys may be used to move from one cell to the next in the table.

    Tip: Make sure length unit is set as “ft”. To change/set current length unit, click the Set Input/Output Unit tool found in the Ribbon toolbar .
    Note: The supports along with their respective node numbers are displayed in the Graphics Window once you click on a cell outside of the row you are currently in.
