Section Cuts - Change
The Label or location of any Section Cut, whether manually generated or automatically generated, may be changed at any time. Selecting opens the Change Section Cut dialog.
Changing the location of a Section Cut will cause the results for the corresponding Wall Panel Group to be cleared. All Bar Patterns in the Wall Panel Group belonging to Wall Panels that are not frozen will be cleared. Any Bar Patterns belonging to frozen Wall Panels, or any Manual Reinforcement assignments in the Wall Panel Group, will not be cleared.
