Existing member: Yes or No .

' Yes ' marks members that you select in step 6 as existing members. Existing members are members that you want to exist in the 3D model but are not to be fabricated. They might, for example, be members that already exist at the construction site. Members that are marked as existing can undergo Process and Create Solids but cannot be automatically detailed, nor will they or any of their submaterials be included on any reports that have to do with cataloging or ordering materials for fabrication purposes. If a bolt is on an existing member and does not bolt to a non-existing member, it will be excluded from reports. Automatic connections can be generated on members framing into existing members.

' No ' allows that you select in step 6 to be automatically detailed and to appear on reports. In other words, the members will be no longer marked as existing.

Member hold status: Held or Not held . Holding a member is usually interpreted as meaning holding a member's detail from release to the shop.

If ' Held ' is selected here, a cloud will be drawn around the callout on the member detail the next time you Detail the affected member. If a date has been entered to " Date held " and a reason has been entered to " Reason for member hold ," that date and reason will also appear on the drawing.

Selecting ' Not held ' and executing Detail Members will remove the cloud and annotations from affected member details which previously had such annotations.

ABM: Yes or No . This must be set to ' Yes ' before you can use the " ABM Point to Point " and " ABM Note " options that are indented below this option.

YouTube video: Update Attributes can be used to edit ABM member settings in the model.

' Yes ' sets the " ABM " check box to checked ( ) for members that you select in step 6 . When the " ABM" check box is checked on a member edit window, that member's main material is a candidate for inclusion in the ABM.

' No ' sets the " ABM " check box for members that you select in step 6 to not checked ( ). When the " ABM" check box is unchecked on a member edit window, that member's main material is excluded from the ABM.

Status Display: ABM candidate

ABM Point to Point: Yes or No . The choice you make here affects the setting made to ABM " Length " on edit windows of members that you select in step 6 . This option is disabled ( grayed out ) when " ABM " (above) is set to ' No .'

' Yes ' sets the " Length " of members to ' Point to Point + Auto ', which reports the member's " WP to WP length: Actual ".

' No ' sets the " Length " of members to ' Standard ABM + Auto '.

ABM Note: lets you enter a text string to populate the " ABM note " field on the edit windows members that you select in step 6 . This option is disabled ( grayed out ) when " ABM " (above) is set to ' No .'

Status Display: Material ABM note

Detail complete date: **NOT SET** or a month day year (see entering dates ) that prevents changes from being made to a Drawing Editor drawing. The choice you make here will be applied to the drawings you select in step 6 . Selecting detail sheets/gather sheets/erection sheets applies the detail complete flag to those sheets and gives you options (" Yes to All " and " No to All ") to apply the " Detail complete date " to all the drawing items on all of the sheets; or you can use another pair of options (" Yes " or " No ") to apply the " Detail complete date " to all drawing items on only those sheets for which you press the " Yes " button.

' **NOT SET** ' removes the status designation of "detail complete" from a member detail, submaterial detail, erection view drawing or sheet, thus allowing you to auto detail the drawing again, or to Save changes to that drawing without having to override the detail complete date.

If a ' month day year ' is applied to drawings, those drawings will be hidden on the selection window that appears when you Detail Members or Detail Submaterial or Detail Erection Views . If you attempt to auto detail the affected drawing, auto detailing gives you a warning message instead of regenerating the drawing. When a user Opens a drawing designated as complete, he or she is notified that the date has been set and given the option to clear the date. Users can Save changes made in the Drawing Editor to a drawing designated as complete, but to do so they need to override the detail complete date. Search and Replace in Selected Drawings and Erase Sheet Items From All will not alter a detail-complete drawing. For a member detail , if the quantity of members depicted on the detail goes to zero, the detail will not be removed from the sheet it is on -- even during the node matching phase of Process and Create Solids or if the deleted member is selected when the Release Deleted Members utility is run. For a submaterial detail that is detail complete or on a detail-complete sheet, the Release Submaterial Marks utility cannot release that submaterial's mark if its quantity goes to zero, nor will the mark be released automatically if " Reuse piecemarks " is checked.

Detail frozen date: **NOT SET** or the month day year (see entering dates ) that the drawings were frozen. This applies to member details only. The choice you make is applied to the member details you select in step 6 . When you select " By Piecemark ," a separate window (" Select Piecemarks ") will open.

If a ' month day year ' is entered, the details of the members whose piecemarks you select in step 6 will be put into a frozen, read-only state. The piecemark of a drawing that is frozen cannot be renamed using Rename Project Items or Change Marks or Save Change Piecemarks or Detail Sheet Autoloading . Users can add graphics to comment layers while in such a member detail, but not to any other drawing layers -- and they cannot Shorten or Unshorten the drawing. Detail Members will not re-detail the member. Search and Replace in Selected Drawings and Erase Sheet Items From All will not alter the member detail.

' **NOT SET** ' unfreezes ("thaws") the member details whose piecemarks you select in step 6 . The thawed details immediately becomes editable. Detail Members is permitted to update the details. The piecemarks of the details can be changed.

" Detail frozen date " versus " Detail complete date ": When you set a " Detail complete date ," a user can still override that date and change the member detail. Once a " Detail frozen date " has been set, only comment layers can be changed. The " Detail frozen date " must be cleared before non-comment layers can be change.

Drawing Data (if you select " By Piecemark "): Detail frozen

Piecemark status: Freeze or Thaw .

' Freeze ' does a Freeze Piecemark operation on the piecemarks of the members that you select in step 6 (or preselected in step 1b ), thus causing their piecemarks to become frozen . The " Piecemark group " number of the selected members will be changed as a result of this operation, but the piecemark assigned to the selected members will not change. However, piecemarks of members other than the ones you select may change -- see these scenarios . Frozen piecemarks remain system piecemarks if they were system piecemarks when they were frozen. They have all the characteristics of other system piecemarks, except that new members cannot be combined under them.

' Thaw ' does a Thaw Piecemark operation on the members that you select in step 6 (or preselected in step 1b ), thus causing their piecemarks to thaw, which means that they can be combined under other piecemarks. If members whose piecemarks you thawed are exactly like other members with different non-frozen system piecemarks, the members with the newly thawed piecemarks will be combined under those other piecemarks.

CNC downloaded: Yes or No .

' Yes ' marks members that you select in step 6 (or preselected in step 1b ) as CNC downloaded. The box for " CNC downloaded " in Member Status Review will be checked ( ).

' No ' marks members that you select in step 6 (or preselected in step 1b ) as not CNC downloaded. The box for " CNC downloaded " in Member Status Review will be un checked ( ).

Effect on CNC downloading: If User and Site Options > Site > " Hide items that have been downloaded from CNC selection menu " is turned on, then all piecemarks that are associated with any members that are marked as CNC downloaded will be masked (hidden) on the selection dialog for CNC downloading by Details .

Member Status Review: CNC downloaded

Surface finish reset: Yes or No .

' Yes ' marks all members to reset their submaterial's surface finish. This will set the surface finish of all attached material on the member(s) back to auto if the material has the Auto check box () unchecked.

' No ' Does not cause selected member(s) to have their submaterials surface finishes reset.

Surface finish value: None or Sandblasted or Red oxide or Yellow zinc or Gray oxide or Blued steel or Galvanized or Duplex Coating or Undefined 1 or Undefined 2 or Undefined 3 or Red oxide 2 or Any user added surface finish. This affects the colors of 'Solid ' members in erection views in the Drawing Editor . This also sets the color when "Output material color " is set to 'Surface finish ' for a VRML Export or a DWG/DXF Export . The "Color " ( not "Surface finish ") sets the color of this material in Modeling .

Step 4 explains making entries to these fields. Step 5 & step 6 explain applying your choices to members. To enter today's date, double-click; to enter **NOT SET** , type 0 then press Tab .

Model completed: **NOT SET** or a month day year (see entering dates ). A model completed date that is set here will be applied to the members you select in step 6 , except for those members which are marked for Process or marked for Create Solids . Also, you will get options to Lock Ends Framing to Model Complete Members .

' **NOT SET** ' removes the status designation of "model complete" from a member, thus allowing that member to be physically altered.

If a ' month day year ' is entered, Process and Create Solids cannot change the member or generate connections on members that frame to the member. Materials , bolts , welds and holes cannot be added to, copied to, deleted from or changed on the member. The member cannot be erased or deleted. If you edit another member with the same mark, " Change all " does not affect a member with its " Model completed " date set. All settings on the affected member's edit window become read-only ( disabled ), though the " Status ", " Properties " " Add View " " Delete View " " Detail Member " and " View detail " buttons remain operational. You can change status settings that do not affect piecemarking or detailing. Also, you can change the affected member's detail. You will be notified that the affected member is marked model complete any time you attempt to rename its piecemark. If you Copy a member that is marked model complete, the " Model complete date " on the new member will be ' **NOT SET** '.

If event logging for member " Operations " is turned on ( ), the setting of a " Model complete date " is reported as " Member model complete date set " in the " Log " of the affected member. The " Log " reports " Member model complete date removed " when the " Model complete date " is changed to ' **NOT SET** '.

Model complete type: Legacy or Restrictive . This applies to whichever members you set the above " Model completed " date.

If you leave the box unchecked ( ) , the choice made to " Auto model complete type " in Status Control setup will be applied, and ' Auto ' will be selected on the edit windows of the affected members.

' Legacy ' is the less severe type of model complete. It restricts Process and Create Solids from regenerating any materials that comprise the affected members. This restriction preserves the solids model of those members in whatever state it was in when the " Model complete date " was set. An option to lock ends depends on the choice made made at Home > Project Settings > Job > Member and Drawing Restrictions > " Prompt to lock ends on legacy model complete members ."

' Restrictive ' is the stronger form of model complete. It "freezes" the model-complete members. Process and Create Solids cannot change the members or generate connections to the restrictive-model-complete member. Materials , bolts , welds and holes cannot be added to, copied to, deleted from or changed on the members. The members cannot be erased, moved or deleted. Most general settings on the members' edit windows become read-only ( disabled ). An option to lock ends depends on the choice made made at Home > Project Settings > Job > Member and Drawing Restrictions > " Prompt to lock ends on restrictive model complete members ."

Lock left end: Locked or Unlocked . The choice you make here will be applied to the left ends of those members -- other than unlockable members such as stairs or miscellaneous members -- that you select in step 6 .

Member end locked ( ):
Member end unlocked ( ):

' Locked ' changes the end lock status from to on the windows of the members that you select. This stops Process and Create Solids from changing the connection on the left ends of the members. It also disables (grays out) all of the [ Left end settings ] on the member edit windows. The material, hole, bolt and weld edit windows for system connections associated with the left end of the members also became read-only. Furthermore, you are prevented from performing operations such as Delete , Cut Layout or etc. on any entities that are associated with the left member end. Locking an member's end does not inhibit any operations that you can normally perform on the member main material.

' Unlocked ' changes the connection lock status from to on Beam Edit or Column Edit or Horizontal Brace Edit or Vertical Brace Edit or Joist Edit or Girt (Legacy) Edit or Purlin Edit windows of the members that you select.

On a column: [ Bottom end settings ] = [ Left end settings ] .
