Find dialog
Used to search for a member by number.
Opens when you select .
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| story | Select the story from the drop-down list. When in Plan mode, this field will have the current story selected. No other story may be selected. |
| member type | Select the type of member from the drop-down list of all member, wall, & node types. The default is beam. |
| number | Type the ID number of the member. |
| Find | Click this button once you have specified the story, member type, and number. When located, the coordinates will be displayed in the dialog and the member will flash three times in the graphical view and then remain white. Clicking again with the same input values will cause the member to flash three times again. If no member is found, the message Not Found is displayed. |
Tip: The Find command does not take into account the current model's zoom, rotation or pan. If the member should be in the current view (indicated by its coordinates being displayed) but it does not appear to flash on the screen or turn white, try resetting the zoom to full, or rotating or panning the view to bring it back into the visible display area.
