2 . The Erection View Cleanup window (this window) appears on screen. If you selected more than one member, the selected members are highlighted in green on your computer screen to show that they are selected. If you selected only one member, it remains selected, but is shown in its true color. Fields on this window may be grayed out in different ways to indicate that the field is disabled because a mark does not apply to a selected member or that mixed entries are applied (if you selected multiple members). If you make an entry to a field with mixed entries, your single entry applies to all of the selected members.
Alternative 1 : Make changes on this window then press the " OK " button to close the window and apply the changes to the members.
Alternative 2 : Press the " Cancel " button to not make any changes to the selected member.

' Stick ' draws members with a single line along the workline of the member(s). ' Stick ' members use the choice that is made on this window to " Member orientation indicator ."
' Wire ' draws the materials that make up the member(s) with lines showing their true structural shape.
' Solid ' draws that materials that make up the member(s) in proportion to their true structural shape and also shades them per their " Surface finish ."
Wire-style hidden lines: Removed or Dashed or Solid . This option applies when " Member style " is set to ' Wire '. These options set how the hidden lines in the selected members are drawn on the erection view.
|

Tip: To move a member orientation indicator ( MOI ), you can drag it in Select Items mode.
MOI scale: 1 or a decimal fraction or a decimal multiple of 1. The value you enter here will be applied even if you auto detail this 2D erection view again.
|
' 1 ' is the default scale of a member orientation indicator (MOI). When the "MOI scale" is ' 1 ', the MOI is drawn to the actual dimensions of the member's main material that are specified in the local shape file . For example, the MOI for a beam whose section size is a W18x35 is drawn with a flange width of 6 inches and a web thickness of 0.3 inches.
A ' decimal fraction ' such as ' 0.5 ' or '0.25 ' or '0.9 ' shrinks the MOI to that fraction of its original size when you press " OK ." For example, if you were to enter ' .8 ' as the " MOI scale " for a W18x35, the MOI would be drawn with a flange width of 0.48 inches (since 6 is a W18x35's actual flange width and .8 x 6 = 0.48).
A ' decimal multiple ' such as ' 1.2 ' or ' 1.5 ' or ' 2 ' expands the MOI to that multiple of its original size. For example, if you were to enter ' 1.2 ' as the " MOI scale " for a W18x35, the MOI would be drawn with a flange width of 7.2 inches (since 6 is a W18x35's actual flange width and 1.2 x 6 = 7.2).
Left end moment symbol: System or Hidden or Shown . This applies when the " Steel member style " is ' Stick ' or ' Stick + wire ' and the member is a beam.
| YouTube video: Left [or Right] end moment symbol .
(Recorded in SDS2 Detailing , v2020i) |
|
' System ' automatically displays a moment symbol on the left end of the beam if and only only if, in Modeling , the member has a ' Bolted ' or ' Welded ' " Moment type " connection on that end.
' Hidden ' will hide the moment symbol on beam's left end, even if, in Modeling , that beam has a ' Bolted ' or ' Welded ' " Moment type " connection on the left end.
' Shown ' displays a moment symbol on the left end of the member even if, in Modeling , the beam lacks a ' Bolted ' or ' Welded ' " Moment type " connection on that end.
You can also select the display color for the symbol for beams on which ' Shown ' is chosen. If you want the symbol closer to or farther from the left end, you can drag it along the member line.
The selected button sets the display color of the moment symbol.
Right end moment symbol : System or Hidden or Shown . Same as " Left end moment symbol ," except that this applies to the right end of the member.
|
Line type: This applies to the member line when the " Steel member style " is ' Stick ' or ' Stick + wire '. No button is pressed if you are editing multiple member lines that have different dash patterns.
|
| The button that is pressed sets the line type (dash pattern) of the member line you are editing. |
Pen number: 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 . This applies to the member line when the " Steel member style " is ' Stick ' or ' Stick + wire '.
|
Select the ' pen number for plotting ' (on-screen display color) that you want applied to the member lines of the members that are selected.
Tip: If you re-detail this 2D erection view, the choice you make here will be retained in the new drawing if you leave the box for " Reset member line pens " not checked.
Note: Assigning a pen number tells your printer how to draw an item. Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Line Weights lets you set up the line thickness per drawing pen. The default Line Weights sets Drawing Editor drawings to be printed using black lines of various widths.
Wire line type: This applies to the wire shape when the " Steel member style " is ' Wire ' or ' Stick + wire '. No button is pressed if you are editing multiple member whose wire shape lines have different dash patterns.
|
|
| The button that is pressed sets the line type (dash pattern) of the wire shape you are editing. |

Left end shear tab symbol: System or Hidden or Near side or Far side . This applies to plan views when the " Steel member style " is ' Stick ' or ' Stick + wire ' and the member is a beam and that beam's left end connection is a single-plate ' Shear ' connection. Typically the shear plate shop welds to the supporting member, which may be a beam or a column. In the illustration below, the supporting member is a column and the shear tab is on the right end of the supported beam. A shear plate side indicator is associated with the supported beam's member line and is placed to show which side of the supported beam's web the shear plate field bolts to. This option works in a similar fashion for the exceptional situation of a shear plate that shop bolts to the beam and field welds to the supporting member.
| YouTube video: Left [or Right] end shear tab symbol .
(Recorded in SDS2 Detailing , v2020i) |
|
' System ' automatically displays a shear plate in stick form on the left end of the beam if, in Modeling , the member has a single-plate ' Shear ' connection on that end.
' Hidden ' hides the shear plate side indicator on the beam's left end even if, in Modeling , that beam has a single-plate ' Shear ' connection on that end.
' Near side ' displays a shear plate side indicator on the left end, near side of the beam even if, in Modeling , it lacks a single-plate ' Shear ' connection on that side of the beam's web.
' Far side ' displays a shear plate side indicator on the left end, far side of the beam even if, in Modeling , it lacks a single-plate ' Shear ' connection on that side of the beam's web.
Also see: Show shear tab location on erection views ( Detail Erection Views window) sets whether the shear plate side indicator is shown on erection plans.
Right end shear tab symbol: System or Hidden or Near side or Far side . Same as " Left end shear tab symbol ," except that this applies to the right end of the member.

Font: Any font that is listed can be selected for piecemark characters of the selected members.
|
Tip: For a TrueType font , such as any of those shown here, set the " Character width " to ' 0.6 ' to have the font rendered at its native width. |
Be sure to also choose the " Font style " that you want. The " Character height " sets the font size. If you select the ' SDS2 ' font, be aware that the " Pen number " affects the thickness of the font when it is plotted.
Font style: The style (' Bold ' or ' Bold Italic ' or ' Italic ' or ' Regular ') of the selected piecemark " Font ." Different fonts may have different styles available to them.
Available font styles are listed alphabetically in the font style list box , and the first style that is listed for a particular font is the style that is selected by default. You may, instead of using the default, prefer to choose ' Regular ', which is generally the most popular style for a particular font. ' Regular ' is the only choice that is available for the ' SDS2 ' font. To adjust the stroke thickness for the ' SDS2 ' font change the " Pen number ."
Also see: " Member labels font " and " Member font style " (at Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Detailing > Drawing Presentaton > the " Fonts " tab > ) determine the font and font style that are applied automatically during Detail Erection Views .
Pen number: 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 .
|
Select the ' pen number for plotting ' (on-screen display color) that corresponds to the pen that you want your printer to use to draw the to-be-changed piecemarks.
For a TrueType " Font ," this option affects the display color of that font while you are in the Drawing Editor , but does not in any way affect the plotted appearance of the font.
For the ' SDS2 ' " Font ," the pen number sets the stroke weight (thickness) of the text used for piecemarks. A different line thickness for each of the Drawing Editor's seven pen numbers may be set up using Home > Project Settings > Fabricator > Line Weights .

Note: When you drag a piecemark or relocate it in some other way, this box is checked automatically. The same is also true when you Ctrl -drag a piecemark to rotate it around its origin.
Also see: Relocate piecemarks and other member labels to default locations ( Detail Erection Views ).
Character height: The height (in millimeters) of the letters/ numbers that make up the piecemark of the selected members. This applies only when " Auto position " is not checked.
|
Font dependencies: This applies to whatever font is selected as the piecemark " Font ," regardless of whether that font is a TrueType font or the ' SDS2 ' font.
Defaults: The default character height for piecemarks in erection views -- both 2D and 3D -- comes from the Drawing Presentation setup option " Piecemark character height . "
Character width: The width/height ratio of the letters/numbers that make up the piecemarks of the selected members.
|
Font dependencies: This applies to whatever font is selected as the piecemark " Font ," regardless of whether that font is a TrueType font or the ' SDS2 ' font. For a TrueType font, a ratio of ' 0.6 ' renders that font at its native width. A ratio larger than ' 0.6 ' stretches the font. A ratio less than ' 0.6 ' compacts the font. For the ' SDS2 ' font, ' 0.4 ' is the default choice.
Default: The default width/height ratio for piecemarks in erection views -- both 2D and 3D -- comes from the Drawing Presentation setup option " Piecemark width/height ratio ."
Rotation (degrees): A positive or negative (-) number of degrees ( 360 to -360 ). This applies to the piecemarks of the selected members when " Auto position " is not checked. Tip: You can Ctrl -drag a piecemark to rotate it around its origin. Ctrl + Shift -drag rotates it at 45 degree increments.
|
Origin: Top left or Top center or Top right or Bottom left or Bottom center or Bottom right origin. Piecemarks are justified with respect to their origin point. To change the " Origin " of a piecemark, " Auto position " must be not checked. The selected button is highlighted green and chooses an origin point for the label as shown below:
| • = origin | ||
 = ' Top left '
|
 = ' Top center '
|
 = ' Top right '
|
 = ' Bottom left '
|
 = ' Bottom center '
|
 = ' Bottom right '
|
Each piecemark is placed as specified with respect to its origin point.
|
' Top left ' places the mark so that its origin point is at the top, left of the text.
' Top center ' places the mark so that its origin point is at the top, center of the text.
' Top right ' places the mark so that its origin point is at the top, right of the text.
' Bottom left ' places the mark so that its origin point is at the bottom, left of the text.
' Bottom center ' places the mark so that its origin point is at the bottom, center of the text.
' Bottom right ' places the mark so that the origin point is at the bottom, right of the text.
