| Global Direction |
Choose any one of the three possible global directions along which the selected structural entities should be copied. |
| No of Steps |
Specify the number of copies to use (up to a maximum of 99). |
| Default Step Spacing |
Type the default spacing between steps (or copies) in the edit box in current length units. You can change the spacing between copies individually using the step table. |
| Step Spacing table |
You can manually type the Spacing to each step as well as type the Number From to use when the Renumber Bay option is selected. |
| Renumber Bay |
Instructs the program to use a user-specified starting number for the members generated in each step of the repeat. |
| Link Steps |
Instructs the program to generate new members between each step in the direction of the repeat. |
| Open Base |
This option instructs the program to not generate linking members at the base of the structure (i.e., the lowest nodes in the selection). |
| Generation Flags |
Select the structural data that you want copied to the newly generated elements:
- All — Uses all properties assigned to the selected object (e.g., loads, properties, design parameters, member releases, etc.) are copied
- Geometry Only — Only geometry data is copied. That is, nodes, member and element incidences are generated but no properties, loads, etc. will be assigned to the new objects.
- Geometry and Property Only — Only geometry data and property assignments are copied. All other assignments (e.g., loads and design parameters) are not copied.
