General
Section Type
Specifies the shape to change in the 3D model space.
Wide Flange
Changes the selected shape to a wide flange member.
Channels
Changes the selected shape to a channel member.
Angles
Changes the selected shape to an angle member.
Tee Shapes
Changes the selected shape to a tee shape member.
Double Angles
Changes the selected shape to double angle shape members.
Square Tubing
Changes the selected shape to a square tube member.
Round Bar
Changes the selected shape to a solid round bar member.
Flat Bar
Changes the selected shape to a solid flat bar member.
Pipe
Changes the selected shape to a pipe shape member.
Channel Lip
Changes the selected shape to a channel lip member.
Angle Lip
Changes the selected shape to an angle lip member.
Z Shape
Changes the selected shape to a z shape member.
Concrete Circular
Changes the selected shape to a concrete circular shape.
Concrete Rectangular
Changes the selected shape to a concrete rectangular shape.
Custom Section
Changes the selected shape to a custom section shape. If you have not defined a custom shape, this option is unavailable.
Section Data Table
Changes the selected shape to the data selected, such as Wide Flange. The list changes based on the Section Type setting and populates the Member Size list.
Member Size
Changes the selected shape to the size of the selected structural member, such as W10X22.
The Section Type, Section Data Table, and Member Size all work in conjunction with one another. To change a member to a different Section Type, you need to select the Section Type, then select the Section Data Table, and then select the specific Member Size for the change. The software updates selected members in the 3D model based on the selected data when you click Apply.
Material
Changes the material of the selected shape in the 3D model.
Angle
Changes the angle of the selected shape in the 3D model.
Length
Allows you to verify and change the length of the selected member. If you select two members of a different size or type, you cannot adjust or verify the length of the selected members. This option is only available in the Modify Shapes palette.
Weight
Allows you to verify the weight of the selected member. If you select two members of a different size or type, you cannot verify the weight of the selected members. This option is only available in the Modify Shapes palette.
Cardinal point
Changes the cardinal point of the selected shape in the 3D model.
Reflect
Turns on or off the Reflect option of the selected member.
Group
Changes the group classification of the selected shape in the 3D model. When you select a group from the list, the layer automatically updates the layer assigned to that group.
Layer
Changes the assigned layer of the selected shape in the model. Layers default to the assigned group.
Color
Changes the color of the selected shape in the model. Color defaults to the assigned layer.
Details
Long Description
Changes the long description for the selected shape in the 3D model.
Short Description
Changes the short description for the selected shape in the 3D model.
Part Number
Changes the part number for the selected shape in the 3D model.
Tag
Changes the tag for the selected shape in the 3D model.
Custom Fields
Allows you to change the value of the custom data set for the selected shape from the 3D model. You can add custom fields by including them in the Hexagon PPM Structure Editor.
