Table 5. Properties group
Tool name	Description
Update Properties	Updates the section properties assigned to members in the input file to those which are the result of a design member selection or group member command. If member selection is carried out for steel, timber or aluminum sections in the model, or if a `GROUP MEMBER` command is specified (see TR.50 Group Specification), the properties of the structure at the end of these processes will no longer be the same as what we assigned initially or started out with. A warning dialog opens to confirm you wish to proceed before making any changes. Note: By performing this operation, the input file gets modified. Consequently, the analysis results are no longer compatible with the modified structure. Therefore, the Analytical Modeling workflow is automatically selected so the structure can be re-analyzed. Before doing so, it is advisable to go back and replace the `SELECT` and `GROUP`ing commands with `CHECK CODE` commands.
