Options - Show Size Restrictions

Options - Show Size Restrictions is a toggle command that is used to both display and remove the user-assigned beam size restrictions from the screen. Issuing the command once places a checkmark beside the menu item, indicating that the command is active. The size restrictions are then displayed on the screen. Issuing the command a second time removes the sizes from the display as well as the checkmark from the menu.

This command can be used in conjunction with Options - Show Brace Points and Options - Show Fixity. The other Options - Show commands will automatically remove the size restrictions text from the screen.

The Options - Scale Text command can be used to increase or decrease the size of the text.

Size restrictions, including Maximum Depth, Minimum Depth and Minimum Width, can be assigned to steel beams, steel joists, and C-Beamâ„¢ using the Layout - Beams - Size Restriction command.
