The Assign > Shear Legs command is used to override the global shear legs criteria on an individual column basis. The number of shear legs can be modified for the major or the minor direction. The user may select to maintain the global criteria for one direction while overriding the criteria for the other direction.

The dialog is closed by selecting the Single, Fence or All buttons. Closing the dialog puts the user into selection mode as described above. The status bar prompts the selection process. In this dialog the All assignment option may be applied to all columns, or only to columns with a specific section size. This mode is selected in the "Assigment Options" area.
