Braced Frames - Analytical v Physical

To edit braced frames without breaking the analytical model:

1. Create your braced frame elevations.


2. Open the elevation view.


3. Highlight the vertical bracing, select the end node to be moved, move it an arbitrary distance towards the center of the lateral beam element and release it. It will reconnect to the beam at the vertical center.


4. In the propertices of that same vertical brace, change the Start Attachment Distance (or End?) to 0'-0". (This number will probably be the uneven distance). The Brace should now be modeled correctly, with the Analytical model still attaced to the top of column.
