Parameter | Description |

USE_DEFAULT | This attribute value indicates that two adjacent members which meet the requirements for merging into a physical member will do so when exported via Struclink. |
BREAK_MEMBER_ACROSS | This attribute value indicates that two adjacent members will not be merged into a single physical member when exported via Struclink, even if they would meet the criteria to do so. This allows you to define where physical members should be broken at a joint. For example, where two identical beams frame into either side of a multi-story column. |
member-list | A list of member numbers. |
