To specify a set of attributes to automatically
assign to new beams, use the following procedure.
For member profiles
and member end releases, you will need to add the corresponding specification
to your model before you can select it for most attribute sets.
Tip: The predefined attribute sets have some pre-populated
values that will be added to your model automatically, though.
In
STAAD.Pro, you will often assign attributes
(beta angle, end offsets, material, profile, etc.) after you have placed a
member. However, you can also assign attribute sets when creating new members
by defining these ahead of time.
STAAD.Pro allows you to create and edit named
attribute sets so you can easily change between attribute sets.
Note: This feature is not active by default so new members will not have
any attributes assigned initially.
-
On the
Geometry ribbon tab, select
in the
Beam group.
The
Define Member Attributes dialog opens.
-
Select an attribute set in the list.
Tip: There are several named sets which can be used or
you can simply use the default
(None)
set.
-
Check the box for each attribute you want assigned.
You can check multiple items. Each item has one or more options
to select once you have checked to assign it.

---|
Member Property |
Check to
Assign Profile with Material and then
select the profile and associated material from the drop-down list. |

option. |

end release specification from the drop-down list for each end you have added a
member release. |

selections.
