2 . The status line prompts, "Add: Material". Locate- Pan -Return mouse bindings become active. Select the appropriate Locate option, then left-click (Locate) at two different locations to define the work line (and X material axis) of the rolled section to be between those two points. The following illustration shows the difference between selecting these two points from left-to-right versus right-to-left.

Alternative : Left-click (Locate) twice at the same location to define a cross section of the rolled section material. The material's workline will be perpendicular to your current view. The first left-click establishes the material's origin point at the work plane of your view. The material extends toward you from the its origin point.

Alternative 1 : To accept the material's present rotation, press the "OK" button.

Alternative 2 : Change the material's rotational settings and then press "OK" if you want to rotate the material.

Alternative 3 : Press "Cancel" to back up to step 2. This stops the rolled section from being added.

5 . The status line prompts, "Locate material dimension reference point". Left-click (Locate) the reference point at the desired location or Right-click (Enter) to place the reference point at the first work point you located in step 2.

6 . The status line prompts "Add: material". The Locate - Repeat - Return mouse bindings become active.

Alternative 1 : Repeat steps 2-5 if you want to add a rolled section that is different than the one you just added.

Alternative 2 : Middle-click (Repeat) if you want to add a rolled section that is exactly like the one you just added.

Alternative 3 : Right-click (Return) to add the rolled section material to the model and end the command.

Note : If the material was added to a member with like members, the Material Add -- Options window appears and gives you the option to add the material to like members. After making your choice here and clicking OK, the material is added to the model and the command ends.
