The Find member dialog has three (3) data fields. The first is a drop down list box used for selecting a story. The second is a list box used to select a member type. These list boxes are pre-filled with any available choices. The third field is a text edit box for the member number of interest and must be entered by the user.

When the current view is in "Plan" mode, the story list box will have the current plan's story automatically selected. While in "Plan" mode no other story may be selected.

The member type selection defaults to "Beam". This selection may be changed at any time.

After entering a member number to find, click the Find button. If the member is found, its coordinates will be displayed in the dialog and its graphic will flash three (3) times on the screen and then remain white. Clicking the Find button again will cause the member to re-flash three (3) times.

If the member is not found, a Not Found message will be displayed on the dialog.

When Find member is invoked while in elevation or 3D view a story must be selected from the list of stories in the dialog.

While "Beam" is the default find member type, "Column", "Brace", or "Wall" may also be selected.

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.
