Working with Columns and Beams

In Concrete or "Other" material mode, beam and column section properties are defined in the PropTable command in either Plan mode or Elevation mode. Brace properties are defined in the PropTable command in Elevation mode only. Section properties are assigned to members using the Layout - member type - Assign Sizes command.

The commands in the Layout – Columns and Layout – Beams menus in Elevation mode are a subset of those available in Plan mode. They work the same as the commands in Plan mode. See Chapter 3, Modeling in Plan Mode , for an explanation of these commands.
